[APP BUG] Tauon segfaults if libprojectM is initialized on a specific cover image #974
Description
Please confirm the following points:
- This report is NOT about the Android apps in the Play Store
- I have searched the project page to check if the issue was already reported
Affected Application
Third-Party Integration (Kodi, VLC, etc. - please specify below)
Affected Version
current master commit
Operating System
Linux (Desktop)
Additional Application Details
On Arch Linux, with Tauon 9.0.0, Tauon segfaults if initialized on specific covers - it seems to hate My Iron Lung cover by Radiohead for example.
Initializing on another cover and then trying the Radiohead one works.
Side note - I could not get debug traces from gdb on a build specifically created as CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, but that may be a skill issue on my part?
Type of Defect
Crash (unexpected closing, OS crash dialog)

Crash on trying to init libprojectm
Specifically using commit 3649044 but I did not verify which exact one causes it, it could be an earlier one.
I just know that 014fb59 works fine.
