BTW: This problem exists already a long time, I remember it in Digikam 0.10.0, too. This is not a digiKam problem, but from KDE4 video player (Phonon) Here alll work fine. I just installed right sub component as xine library to see Phonon working fine. Gilles Caulier Yes, I can confirm. The switch to gstreamer as a backend in KDE 4.3 made a lot of problems here. For example amarok didn't play a song for 5!!! minutes, I don't know why it waited so long but when I skipped to the next song in my playlist, nothing happened. I also was not able to fast-forward the song. KMail didn't play my notification sound anymore. etc... So as Gilles said, switching back to xine fixed it. You should try this, too. PS: Yes, I know that GStreamer is plugin based, and I had installed ALL of them, even the "bad" ones. It didn't help... Thanks. Just got to note that I haven't never used the Phonon GStreamer backend, but Xine (currently 1.1.16.3). I think there are issues open with Xine also. I only wanted to be sure that the video widget initialization is done right in Digikam. As I mentioned above, opening the hanging file in an external Dragonplayer works reliably, of course also in VLC (all Xine-driven). Problem still here with digiKam 1.0.0 ??? Gilles Caulier (In reply to comment #7) > Problem still here with digiKam 1.0.0 ??? > > Gilles Caulier Definitely yes, using KDE 4.4 RC2 + Qt 4.6.1, now. I don't know, how I can help you, is there a possibility to make a stackdump of all open threads or so? I'm not so familiar with gdb, is gdb able to produce something also outside of a crash? Here is an example output in GDB after pressing two times PgDown when it is hanging again: minscanline 1 digikam(9157)/KEXIV2 KExiv2Iface::KExiv2Priv::printExiv2ExceptionError: Cannot load metadata using Exiv2 (Error # 11 : /home/rkrell/Pictures/Závody/2008-06-21 Mirošov/2008-06-21 14.21.56.avi: The file contains data of an unknown image type minscanline 1 minscanline 1 [New Thread 0x7fffca6a7910 (LWP 10772)] minscanline 1 ...

We are sorry, but the xine backend is unmaintained: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-announce&m=130744384419151 Please use the phonon-backend-gstreamer or thre phonon-backend-vlc instead. |
