Description Joseph Tate 2005-08-08 14:32:10 UTC
Create an ogg file with an ID3 tag.  Take any ogg file and run id3tag on it.

Attempt to play it.

totem dies with a segmentation fault
"** Message: don't know how to handle application/x-id3
Segmentation fault"

rhythmbox believes the file is an mp3 file and refuses to play it (when mp3
support is not enabled)

ogg123 happily plays the file.

It may be useful to note that the "file" command identifies the id3 decorated
ogg as an id3 decorated mp3 file.
Comment 1 Ronald Bultje 2005-08-08 14:48:39 UTC
You need libid3tag and the id3tag element to play this file, which unfortunately
happen to be in the same plugin mad element (mad is an mp3 decoder). The mp3
recognition is a RB bug, if any.
Comment 2 James "Doc" Livingston 2005-08-08 16:10:25 UTC
As Ronald said, you need the mad plugin to support ID3 tags.

(Assuming you are using 0.8.8) The type mis-detection is due to the backend
design of the 0.8 series, which contains a number of assumptions that will
probably prevent it correctly determining the type of a ogg file with id3 tags.
Rhythmbox from cvs, and hence 0.9, uses the "playbin" element (which is what
totem uses) and should correctly determine the type, if it doesn't then it's a
gstreamer problem.

Since this should be fixed in cvs I'm closing the bug, but feel free to re-open
if you can reproduce the issue with cvs (or 0.9 when it gets released).


I've just checked and playbin does not read ID3 tags in ogg files - it seems to
expect them to be ogg comments.
