GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 684130
Totem don't play files with the character ' at name
Last modified: 2012-09-17 13:41:52 UTC
I've opened a video course here with the name "2 - 2 - Schelling's Segregation Model (11-30).mp4" Totem show the video name in 4 lines at playlist, like: 2 - 2 - Schelling's Segregation Model (11-30).mp4 The result is "file not found". After put this file with others in a playlist, totem freezed. The fix is simple: Remove the ' from "Schelling's". I think this should be fixed before 3.6, because we can't play files with this character at name.
How exactly did you open the video (step by step)? (e.g. you could open from Nautilus, from Totem, command line, etc)
Thank you for fast reply. I'm openning with double click from nautilus. I'm unable to reproduce the bug from command line. I can try reproduce some debug information, it you told me how do this. Since this is not a crash, I don't know how to get some backtracking with gdb.
Created attachment 224446 [details] The problem with strace The attached file is the output of "strace -p TOTEM_PID". See there are not found messages at output. The file is compressed because it's almost 10MB of size.
Launch the file with nautilus, then, when Totem is opened, run: ps aux | grep totem and attach the output here. Looks likely to be a problem with nautilus itself.
$ ps -aux | grep totem warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://gitorious.org/procps/procps/blobs/master/Documentation/FAQ saulo 13240 12.4 1.5 290004 31540 ?

Using the same name with a PDF causes the same problem, so I'm edging for nautilus being broken here. Tested with nautilus-3.5.91-1.fc18.x86_64
