X error (BadAlloc) when trying to play back a wmv file
Last modified: 2007-04-24 13:19:07 UTC
The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 47 error_code 11 request_code 140 minor_code 19) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Xine says this when playing the same file: [wmv2 @ 0x1318564]J-type picture is not supported [wmv2 @ 0x1318564]J-type picture is not supported [wmv2 @ 0x1318564]J-type picture is not supported [wmv2 @ 0x1318564]J-type picture is not supported [wmv2 @ 0x1318564]J-type picture is not supported [wmv2 @ 0x1318564]J-type picture is not supported And mplayer cannot play it either. I guess fixing totem so it doesn't "crash" is reasonable anyway.
The J-type picture stuff is from the ffmpeg windows media decoder; it might cause artefacts in the movie, but that should be all. I think the _put() error is something else (possibly a video driver bug, not sure). In any case, looks like bug #351784. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 351784 ***
