The crash is unrelated.

 From the readme:
Changing an option in the wrong value (usually selecting a module by 
hand instead of letting it be selected automatically) can cause VLC to 
no longer start. In this case you will need to remove the preference 
file located in your HOME -> Library -> Preferences -> VLC.

That will probably solve your issue.
