Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

This problem occurred when I played a dvd, self made dvd-r with 4 hours of video. I tried to skip a piece by dragging the slider to the right.

Then totem begins to seek to that point (I can hear my dvd-player working harder).
Now the following things can happen:
- if I forwarded a small piece, it works fine (about 1 min) (probably loaded in the buffer already?)
- if I forwarded a longer piece, this is my observation:
   - totem is busy seeking, but when I dare to touch the slider again, totem crashes. When I am patient the image of the scene shows up, but it doesn't play further.
   - but when I drag back to the beginning (same part in which worked fine first) it works fine again
   - when I drag a longer piece to the right after I dragged to the beginning again, totem crashes immediately
   - when I start playing with the slide-bar, totem always crashes :P

The first 2 times I got bug-reports. After that I tried to install some debugging-symbols, but now I don't get a bug-reporting window any more (maybe tomorrow...).

I now installed libtotem-plparser1-dbg (which isn't useful I think?) and libmpeg2-4-dev (found it in the stack trace). Which debugging-symbols are useful?

Here is the second bug-report.

The first one I lost, but will probably not give more information that this.

I also found the same behaviour with go->skip to, except that totem doesn't crash. It only seems busy seeking and at the end he only shows an image of that moment without playing further. The only way to get things working again is to go to the beginning.

The crash happens to libmpeg2, that's probably a bug from that lib
