Something must be wrong. Considering all the information you have provided more detailed analysis is not possible.
You forgot to tell us:
1. Have you verified this MKV is not corrupted
2. What GPU
3. What driver is used for this GPU
4. Is this GPU configured properly, no errors anywhere in dmesg and X log
5. What video output VLC is using, will it happen with all available output methods
6. Is hardware decoding used for this video
7. Is hardware rendering enabled
8. What is the video codec in this MKV
9. Is there anything interesting in dmesg, logs and terminal when crash happens
10. emerge --info
This would be for starters.

Hi Jaglover,
1. my MKVs is good. they never got issue playing with vlc until recently. no issue play with Dragon Player
2,3. What GPU and driver used
27:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750/8740 / R7 250E]
Subsystem: VISIONTEK Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750/8740 / R7 250E]
Kernel driver in use: radeon
4. I don't know how to find gpu error in dmesgs, but under /var/log/Xorg.0.log there some errors like
[ 11.356] (EE) Failed to open authorization file "/var/run/sddm/{9914d4ee-bc26-4de6-8a6a-f46ae2e5e618}": No such file or directory
[ 1133.251] (EE) event15 - SONiX USB DEVICE: client bug: event processing lagging behind by 26ms, your system is too slow
[ 1232.910] (EE) event15 - SONiX USB DEVICE: client bug: event processing lagging behind by 27ms, your system is too slow
[ 3338.334] (EE) event15 - SONiX USB DEVICE: client bug: event processing lagging behind by 16ms, your system is too slow
5. What video output VLC is using, will it happen with all available output methods
Video output module = OpenGL video output
6. Is hardware decoding used for this video
Hardware-accelerated decoding is Automatic
7. Is hardware rendering enabled
Don't know how I can't find it. maybe it has been changed under my vlc version? |

If you have magic sysrq enabled https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Magic_SysRQ you may be able to trigger the freeze, press alt+sysrq+r to release the keyboard, switch to a tty and then run dmesg | grep error; |
