Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-09-10 12:20:39 UTC
This bug has been opened here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14068

"The version of totem gstreamer in breezy freezes when you pause, advance, or
reverse playback.  It does NOT happen when using the xine backend.  This happens
regardless of the file format.. any movie or audio file does this.  The program
doesn't segfault or crash, the movie/audio just freezes.  The program appears to
respond.. menues and buttons work.. they just don't affect the playback.  If I
have more than one media file on the playlist, I can procede to the next one or
go back to the previous, but as soon as I attempt to advance, pause, or reverse
the playback, the media freezes.  I will attach the output of 'totem
--gst-debug-level=5 --gst-debug-no-color mediafile.avi' (I didn't paste it
inline because it is >400,000 lines.
...

output of 'totem --gst-debug-level=3 --gst-debug-no-color'

debug level 4 and 5 created huge files, so I'm sending debug level 3"
Comment 1 Sebastien Bacher 2005-09-10 12:22:30 UTC
Current version are: gstreamer/gst-plugins0.8 0.8.11 and totem 1.2.0
Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2005-09-10 14:17:37 UTC
does changing audiosink fix it? If so, which audiosink is this? esdsink? I
cannot reproduce, I think...
Comment 3 Matt MacLeod 2005-09-10 15:30:15 UTC
Good call. This is with the ALSA sink (0.8.11-0ubuntu2), but not OSS or ESD.
It's been happening for several versions at least.

Alsa packages:
alsa-base 1.0.9b-3ubuntu1
alsa-utils 1.0.9a-4ubuntu1
libasound2 1.0.9-2
Comment 4 Ronald Bultje 2005-09-10 15:50:40 UTC
Does it happen with:

alsasink device=hw:0
alsasink device=plughw:0
alsasink device=dmix
alsasink device=default

?
Comment 5 Matt MacLeod 2005-09-10 16:12:59 UTC
It works with:
hw:0
dmix

but not with:
plughw:0
default


I'm using a SB Live 5.1 (which supports hardware mixing, AFAIK), and have it set
to output 5.1 audio.

Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you provide us with one? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.
Comment 7 Elijah Newren 2005-12-22 15:52:55 UTC
alfredoj69: This isn't a crash being reported, so asking for a stack trace of the crash doesn't make sense.  Also, you'll note that one of the developers has already started responding.  One more thing to note--click on the light bulb icon next to the reporter's name; you'll note that Sebastien has reported over 1000 bugs, closed a couple thousand and added thousands of comments to other bugs.  He'd know if he needed to add a stack trace.  ;-)  Thanks for getting involved.
Comment 8 Julien MOUTTE 2006-01-22 17:32:52 UTC
current CVS HEAD of Totem and GStreamer now handles that smoothly. Fixed.
Comment 9 Julien MOUTTE 2006-01-22 17:52:44 UTC
0.8 doesn't. Mark and reopen
Comment 10 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-09-08 12:43:22 UTC
(Mass-closing of GStreamer-0.8 related Totem bugs)

Thanks for the bug report. However, the version you are using is no longer maintained.

Please upgrade to the most recent version and open a new bug if the problem persists with a current Totem/GStreamer-0.10 version.
