I think webkitTextCombinerNew() is called just once in the code base.

Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer.cpp:2760

Current code is:

    GstElement* textCombiner = webkitTextCombinerNew();
    ASSERT(textCombiner);
    g_object_set(m_pipeline.get(), "text-stream-combiner", textCombiner, nullptr);

Crash would be in the ASSERT(textCombiner);

You might be able to change ASSERT(textCombiner); to if (textCombiner) 

The older 2.4.0 code is quite a bit different, but also just uses ASSERT... 

This does seem like a dependency issue-- when installing webkit, one of the dependences it now needs to have is the bad plugin.. I don't entirely know who made a change that ultimately broke things.

I think just having some google results when searching for the error message will be a big help.

Thanks and good luck.
