Description Robin Ince 2004-12-06 23:14:51 UTC 
With gst-plugins-0.8.5 and either rhythmbox 0.8.5 or Rhythmbox 0.8.8
and either gstreamer 0.8.5 or 0.8.7 the following error results when trying to
import an itunes encoded m4a aac file into rhythmbox

(process:23101): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: file gsttypefind.c: line 302
(gst_type_find_suggest): assertion `gst_caps_is_fixed (caps)' failed 

With gst-plugins-0.8.2 it works fine.
Comment 1 David Schleef 2004-12-15 06:25:44 UTC 
Could you provide the file?
Comment 2 Ray Canzanese 2004-12-22 18:36:39 UTC 
I've also experienced this same problem.  I recieve the same error message,
coupled with a full hex dump of the file in the terminal.  The behaviour is the
same for all unprotected m4a aac files encoded by iTunes.
Comment 3 Robin Ince 2004-12-22 19:09:53 UTC 
Unfortunately I cannot provide the file as I am in the process of relocating and
my desktop machine is in transit.

It happens with unprotected AAC (m4a) files encoded with itunes... these are the
only aac files I had to test, mp3 seems to import fine.
Comment 4 Ronald Bultje 2004-12-22 19:33:17 UTC 
Is it reproduceable using gst-plugins 0.8.6?
Comment 5 Bart Teeuwisse 2004-12-29 22:52:14 UTC 
Similar experience here.
Comment 6 Bart Teeuwisse 2004-12-29 22:59:07 UTC 
See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=261933 for more information.
Comment 7 Ronald Bultje 2004-12-30 08:53:26 UTC 
This bug was presumably fixed by this commit:

http://cvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins/gst/typefind/gsttypefindfunctions.c?r1=1.51&r2=1.52

which was included in gst-plugins-0.8.6. Again, is this reproduceable with
gst-plugins-0.8.6?

re comment #7:

that patch fixed gst-plugins-0.8.5 for me.
