Hangs after playing flv video
Last modified: 2008-09-01 21:10:19 UTC
[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/433220 ] Totem with the Xine backend seems to hang if you try to play another video after playing an flv all the way through to the end. I can't reproduce this with the Xine player.
Could you please get a backtrace of the hang?
I get a different behaviour when I run totem in the debugger, now the hang happens as soon as I open an flv file. I can probably get a better backtrace later if that's necessary;
+ Trace 155979
Please use a xine-lib with debug info (see http://www.gnome.org/projects/totem/#bugs) and test with 2.19.90 (just released).
It's reproducible with 2.19.90, except now I get a completely unusable backtrace. I do have the debugging symbols for xine-lib installed, no idea why they aren't picked up.
You need to compile xine-lib with "make debug debug-install", the default target has no useful symbols, which is why the totem-xine bug reports suck.
This is a backtrace with make debug;
+ Trace 156146
The backtrace still doesn't have all the debugging symbols from xine-lib. You need to use "make debug-install" to install the library. If you created a Debian package for this, dh_install will have undone the work.
Hrm, I can't get any better results. I have removed the -dbg package, moved the libraries from the debian package out of the way, and built xine-lib with "make debug-install".
This should be a better trace, from a Fedora system with xine-lib and debug packages from rpm.livna.org. This is with gdb attached to the process after the hang, I can't reproduce it when run directly from gdb for some reason.

Can you still reproduce the problem?
Nope, no crashy with Totem 2.22.2 and libxine 1.1.14.
