Subject: Crash when playing videos with digikam launched in a xephyr server
Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2009 09:25:13 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: digikam
Version: 2:0.9.4-1
Severity: important

I've configured an multiseat workstation with mdm and gdm (available here : http://wiki.c3sl.ufpr.br/multiseat/index.php/Mdm).

But since this change on my system, digikam crashs when I try to play videos files taken by my camera (avi files). Before my Multiseat Display Manager, digikam runs perfectly.

You will find the file digikam.crash in this bug report.

Thanks,

Displaying video files in digiKam is delegate to KDE video player set in KDE control center, and loaded as runtime library. There is no video player in digiKam code.

So the problem is in another place.

Since 5.2.0 release, we have replaced the Phonon/GStream mechanism to play video files by QtAv/ffmpeg framework. This problem will never be reproducible.
