~/.xine/catalog.cache corruption.

Corrupted catalog.cache

This corrupted catalog.cache disables win32 codecs.

"win32codecs working" catalog.cache

This one is able to read files using win32codecs.

In order to get the corruption sorted out, just need to delete the corrupted
~/.xine/catalog.cache and everything should be back to normal. But sooner or
later, it will be corrupted again.

Thanks for your bug, that's probably a xine issue. Does it happen if you use
xine-ui? What type of video format are you trying to read? What error do you get?

The corruption is hard to get. You need to read a huge amount of video files in
win32codecs and non-win32codecs to get it.
I got it twice with totem-xine (I think of a xine issue too). I don't know if
this corruption occurs with xine-ui: I'll start to use xine-ui, if the
corruption occurs, I'll update the bug report. But I still think it's xine only
related.
The error is totem complaining that it cannot read the file I selected because
it does not have the plugin to support one of the codec in the latter file (only
for win32codecs!! non-win32codecs are fine).

Does this problem persist in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS?

As far as I remember, it's gone (complaint about this issue stopped) .
Since I use gstreamer now, the pb is somewhat obsolete.

Well... seems gone (no complaint reported)... and now I use gstreamer 0.10.

marking as fixed, feel free to reopen if you get the issue again

On a fresh install of feisty, I came across this issue this week. I too opened many files of many different types. I first noticed this problem when Amarok stopped loading mp3 files. Attached is corrupted catalog.cache file.
