Backtrace of the crash after trying to access dvb-t device

After upgrading from 2.26.x to 2.28, I'm no longer able to access my dvb-t
stick from within totem. First try totem is telling me, that I do not have a
channel-list (which I have, dvb-channels.conf is available), the second try to
watch television causes totem to crash. This is always reproducable in Ubuntu
Karmic, Debian Sid and the version I've built with jhbuild.

Well spotted, fixed in gnome-2-28 and master. A release will follow next week.

    Fix DVB tuner activation
    
    Fix double-frees of the channels.conf filename, a couple of
    memory leaks, and the file wrongly being considered broken
    when parsing the last line of it.

Thank You for your quick reply. Totem now does not crash anymore, but I'm still not able to watch any channel. It now simply seems to hang. When pausing and trying to play the dvb-stream again, totem is telling me that plugins are missing:
private/teletext-Decoder and/or application/x-mpegts-private-section-Decoder. I'm not sure how to debug this. Any hints?
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2009-10-02 14:36:08 UTC 
Those are GStreamer problems I'm afraid.

You should be able to reproduce them using:
gst-launch playbin2 uri="dvb://NAME OF CHANNEL"
You can also right-click on the playlist to copy the URL.

File a separate bug about it.
