Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

The latest Rhythmbox update made it possible for me to use my apple remote to control it. However, pressing the forward button continuously, or just pressing it often in a row, causes rhythmbox to segfault, leaving the following in the terminal:

** (rhythmbox:9312): CRITICAL **: Resources for ring buffer 0x89cae00 still acquired
Segmentation fault

This is on an iMac with a fully upgraded Feisty.

We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

Here's a more verbose report.

I launch gnome-terminal
I start rhythmbox from the command line
Immediately, I get the following message in the command line:
"Rhythmbox: could not connect to socket
Rhythmbox: Connection refused"

Then, I hit the play button on my apple remote
Since shuffle is on, a random song starts playing

Meanwhile, I have received a couple of messages in the terminal that all say:
"** (rhythmbox:13284): WARNING **: Size 5760 is not a multiple of unit size 5520"

Then I press >> on the apple remote

Another random song starts playing

Then I press >> for about 8 seconds

Rhythmbox closes, and I see this in the terminal:

Segmentation fault

Please let me know if you need any other information

Sorry for the noise; I should have tried this earlier: disabling the LIRC plugin solves this problem for me.

Previous reply was not the right one, your bug had a correct description, could you get a backtrace (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash) for the crash though?

This time, Rhythmbox didn't crash, but it was completely unresponsive. Anyway, I hope the backtrace tells you something. Let me know if this is not the correct backtrace, I never produced such a thing before.

From the backtrace it did crash, gdb intercepted the crash. That's not a debug backtrace though. Could you get a new one with gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-dbg libglib2.0-0-dbg rhythmbox-dbg installed?

Does it happen also if you switch songs quickly from the keyboard? That might have nothing to do with the remote control
