Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: GCC 2.95.4 OS: FreeBSD With a fresh install of libxine, and using a video that Xine will play quite happily, I get this from arts when trying to use kaboodle: UnixManager: got notifyIO socketconnection created, fd = 13 search playobject, mimetype = video/mpeg creating xinePlayObject to play file /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/kde-cvs/lib/libarts_xine.so: Undefined symbol "init_video_out_plugin" Arts crashes here, if I restart it, and press play in kaboodle, it just does the same again. Not sure where to go with this, ldd on everything arts/xine/libxine related doesn't show anything missing, and as I mentioned, xine itself will play any of the files I'm testing just fine.
I was going to report that the thumbnail generation also crashes arts and freezes up the gui, but I just realised when watching the arts terminal output, that it's exactly the same problem.
My arts doesn't crash on video thumbnails, it actually creates them rather well.. but I do get a mcop SIGPIPE overwrite when using Konq as file manager when video previews are enabled quite often. Disabling the previews disables all problems as well..
Thumbnail generation starts a lot of artsd instances on my computer. A friend of mine who's running KDE CVS too has the exact same problem. Most of the time, 1 or 2 movies get thumbnails and then nothing else happens. Kaboodle won't start anymore either. After a 'killall -9 artsd" in Konsole, everything works again. Oh, and btw, Konqueror also stopped responding a few times. This should probably be regarded a showstopper, as it can hang Konqueror and always hangs the multimedia system of KDE.
Update: it seems that getting Meta info has the same effect, because the file tooltip causes multiple artsd instances to start as well...
Same problem here. Thumbnails hang artsd when showing a preview of a video. Any attempt to play video through noatun hang artsd as well. Have to kill it. Xine plays the videos just fine.
Ignore my last comment. I found the problem. I had a plugin for xine that had an unresolved symbol. Xine didn't complain, but it caused artsd to crash. I removed the plugin and now all is well!
John, For curiosity's sake, which plugin was it? How did you determine which one had an unresolved symbol?
Is this problem still persistent with recent libxine and xine_artsplug versions? I haven't had problems with this plugin for quite some time now :)
Thumbnails now work, but playing videos in any of the kdemultimedia players still fails. All the videos I tried play fine with xine itself and mplayer. I don't have any debug or console output, playing a video results in a blast of sound (no images) and then an arts crash. I'll rebuild with debug to see if it's still the same problem.
This is gone now, there's still some xine plugin issues, but they are not related to the crashes here.
