Comment 1 Jonathan Matthew 2011-12-01 22:08:25 UTC

This appears to be a GStreamer problem.  It would help to know if 'gst-discoverer-0.10 file:///media/Music/Music/Pop/d/Deine%20Lakaien/White%20Lies/Deine%20Lakaien%20-%20White%20Lies%20-%2009%20-%20Lost.flac' crashes.

Comment 2 Vincent Penquerc'h 2012-01-17 13:23:08 UTC

Looks very much like a gstreamer bug, yes.
It would be most helpful to have a sample exhibiting the crash.
If the first few seconds of that track also cause the crash, it'd be enough.

Comment 3 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2012-02-23 11:42:44 UTC

Looks like you have plenty of duplicates in Fedora's bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744256

I'm asking people there to run gst-discoverer-0.10 on the offending files.

Comment 4 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2012-03-20 16:11:00 UTC

The bug apparently also happens without Rhythmbox, from tracker-extract. See the Fedora reports here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766052

As reporters said, it's hard to reproduce reliably the bug, so we cannot really provide a file for that.
