fix for libid3tag (284 bytes, patch)
2005-01-07 11:36 UTC, Ronald Bultje 		none Details | Review

Description Mark 2004-12-31 23:19:46 UTC 
1. Fetch the problem MP3.  A 50k chunk that reproduces the problem is at
http://excel.xl0.org/angelhead.mp3; the full 8MB MP3 is at
http://excel.xl0.org/angel.mp3.
2. Attempt to play the problem MP3 with rhythmbox 0.8.8 or Totem 0.99.22.
3. Observe that the player application will suck up all your memory until it's
killed.

Running the MP3 through mp3asm produces a version that no longer crashes the
player (http://excel.xl0.org/angelok.mp3); this is still kind of an ugly bug,
though.
Comment 1 Stephane Loeuillet 2005-01-02 12:32:02 UTC 
confirmed to eat all memory with latest CVS of everything
perhaps an ID3 tag parsing problem (angelok has no ID3 tag)
Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2005-01-07 10:43:32 UTC 
it hangs in id3_tag_parse(). Seems like a libid3 bug.

fix for libid3tag

Fix for parsing error in libid3. With this patch, the file plays correctly.
Comment 4 Ronald Bultje 2005-01-07 11:46:29 UTC 
Patch sent upstream, marking as fixed (could mark it as NOTGNOME too).
Comment 5 Ronald Bultje 2005-04-17 20:44:15 UTC

Seb, can you make sure this gets in Ubuntu? The libid3tag maintianer isn't
making a good impression on me at all here.
Comment 7 Sebastien Bacher 2005-05-03 10:40:40 UTC 
that's fixed for Debian and Ubuntu has synced the fixed package, thanks
