Rhythmbox crashes when it tries to monitor Library Location for new files
Last modified: 2006-04-18 17:52:43 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Rhythmbox, choose Edit => Preferences 2. Point Library Location to your music collection directory (in my case, /media/hdg4/mp3) 3. Close it (If left open at this point, it freezes) 4. Launch it and wait for some ten seconds to get segment fault crash Stack trace: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x08a31b88 *** Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. [Switching to Thread -1245602896 (LWP 1855)] 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) thread apply all bt
+ Trace 67643
Other information: I'm using Ubuntu Dapper with newest updates, Gstreamer-0.10 and my mp3 directory contains about 3 GB of Mp3/FLAC files, also several text files and one mpg file (video clip).
I forgot to add - this all happens when Library Location has "Watch my library for new files" checkbox checked.
It's crashing inside gst-ffmpeg (thread 30), so reassigning. What version of gst-ffmpeg do you have? Could you run "rhythmbox -d" from a terminal, and try this again. Once it crashes, go back to the terminal and look for "RHYTHMDB_ACTION_LOAD" in the last few lines of output, there should be a filename with it. What kind of file is it crashing on?
Just for information, I upgraded to Sebastian built 0.9.4 deb package for Ubuntu Dapper (http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/deb), and now bug is gone. Launching rhythmbox -d from terminal (0.9.3.1 version from Ubuntu), in crashes with such rows: [0x8143940] [action_thread_main] rhythmdb.c:2016 (11:39:21): executing RHYTHMDB_ACTION_LOAD for "file:///media/hdg4/mp3/Nine%20Inch%20Nails/nine_inch_nails/1990-halo04-sin/halo04.gif" [0x8143940] [rb_metadata_load] rb-metadata-gst.c:760 (11:39:21): loading metadata for uri: file:///media/hdg4/mp3/Nine%20Inch%20Nails/nine_inch_nails/1990-halo04-sin/halo04.gif [0x8143940] [rb_metadata_load] rb-metadata-gst.c:832 (11:39:21): going to PAUSED for metadata, uri: file:///media/hdg4/mp3/Nine%20Inch%20Nails/nine_inch_nails/1990-halo04-sin/halo04.gif [0x8143940] [rb_metadata_gst_typefind_cb] rb-metadata-gst.c:563 (11:39:21): found type image/gif [0xb5204628] [rb_metadata_gst_new_decoded_pad_cb] rb-metadata-gst.c:598 (11:39:21): got decoded video pad of type video/x-raw-rgb Segmentation fault
