GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 597198
Totem hangs while loading a video with .srt sub from nautilus
Last modified: 2009-11-06 14:18:20 UTC
I have just upgraded to karmic beta1. When the option "automatically load subtitle files when movie is loaded" is enabled, totem stops responding while loading a video with subtitle file. If the option is disabled and the subtitle file is specified manually it works. The program doesn't crash, it sticks on loading (the window is unresponsive) and i have to force quit (kill the application). In this way a crash report is not produced. It seems that this bug shows up only during the program startup from nautilus.
Could you please get a stack trace of the hang using gdb when the application is hung? If you want to use bug-buddy, make sure you have the debug packages installed and launch "killall -SEGV totem"
using "killall -SEGV totem" Ubuntu's apport is triggered. I have produced this bug report on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/totem/+bug/441396
No permissions, attach the trace here please.
File too big to upload, grab here: http://www.lost-prophet.net/storage/apport.tar.gz
i would like to point out that this problem appears only while starting the program from nautilus. If the option "automatically load subtitle files when movie is loaded" is enabled and i add movies from Totem's movie->open menu, it works. Bastien, are you able to reproduce the problem?
Please attach the backtrace of the hang to this bug, I don't need the rest of the data.
Could you please tell me exactly what to do and I'll do it.
The bug on launchpad is now public.

Deadlock in GStreamer.
news?
I can't reproduce this here with gstreamer/gst-plugins-base 0.10.25 + the decodebin2 changes from Ubuntu and totem 2.28.1. Is there anything special about the file that is used? Does it happen for all files?
Created attachment 146024 [details] Test file
It seems to happen with almost all sub files. However try the attached file and take a loot at launchpad thread too https://bugs.launchpad.net/totem/+bug/441396
I just had a deadlock with git master of the gstreamer modules and an SRT which totem loaded automatically: Bug #600479. Not sure if this is related, the stack trace is different.
There is duplicate bug report here: Bug #599970 I posted my findings there because I didn't know this bug report already existed.
