Before starting VDR you must enable generation of core file with
"ulimit -c unlimetd". When VDR crashes a core file is generated
in the current directory. Use the GNU Debugger to inspect this
file: "gdb vdr <core-file>"

Inside gdb use the "bt" command to see the stack backtrace.

Well, I was thinking about a juke-box mode. In this mode newly
selected songs would be added to the end of the playlist and
already played songs would be removed. May be it could be handy
for this mode to keep the browser open all the time.
