Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem-xine

For some reason, totem-xine crashes when playing http://diveintomark.org/public/2006/07/20060716-640x480.mkv
. At first, I thought it had to do with enabling subtitles, but it
crashes regardless. It has crashed every time thus far, being the first repeatable bug that I can report. The work-around, of course, is apt-get install totem-gstreamer

What version of Ubuntu do you use? Does it crash if you use xine-ui to play it? Could you use a title describing your issue next time? It makes easier for people looking on bug to work on a summary for a package

Sorry, in cutting out the bug buddy text designed to go to bugs.gnome.org to post here, I inadvertantly removed my version, etc. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS. It segfaults in xine-ui as well. As far as the title is concerned, I'll try and do better next time, but I'm not quite sure how to add more information with the limited amount of info I had to begin with. Also, I should've posted that I was building a debug package and thus withheld the terse backtrace I was given, but I was in a hurry, so I apoligize about that. Attached is the backtrace from the debugging package of xine-ui, however, the error appears to be in libxine... off to build another debug package...

Well, there's totem-xine, how about xine-ui now...

Unfortunately, building the package by http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash results in errors of:

 so for right now I'm kind of stuck. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 i386, though it is an AMD64 processor, due to the lack of flash, etc., so perhaps that's the culprit. Regardless, I await your replies. I'd attach the actual movie file, but it's way too large to even think about attaching, and Mark's hosting it for the moment.

The example pointed has a 404 error page now. The backtrace is not really useful but that and the fact that xine-ui crash too makes from it a xine-lib bug, reassigning

Everything works perfectly fine now. Still not quite sure where the bug was, but at least it is fixed.
