Description Robert Simmons 2011-02-27 23:55:16 UTC

Version:           2.0.x (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I don't have the correct codec to play these files in dragonplayer, but sometimes I click on a wmv file by accident and dragonplayer plays them because it is associated with them.  I have changed this so that they are associated with vlc as a workaround.

Any time dragonplayer tries to play a wmv file it crashes with a seg fault.  I tried to install the debug symbols, but still was not able to produce useful output (sorry).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In dolphin click on a .wmv file and wait a few seconds for the crash.

Actual Results:  
seg fault and crash

Expected Results:  
Error message saying that dragonplayer does not have the codec installed to play wmv files.

Kubuntu 10.10
KDE 4.6
dragonplayer 2.0

Any wmv file will make it crash.

I can confirm that this is still in 4.6.2.  I am running Kubuntu 10.10 with the KDE 4.6.2a packages from maverick backports.

Also, asf files crash Dragon Player in the same way. I don't have the codec for them either.

Additionally, I have tried to run a backtrace, but I can't seem to get the debug symbols to install properly, but that is probably a problem with Kubuntu, not KDE.

Comment 2 Robert Simmons 2011-05-22 20:43:58 UTC

I can confirm that this bug is fixed in Kubuntu 11.04 using KDE 4.6.3 and dragonplayer 2.0.

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2011-05-23 14:08:08 UTC

Dragonplayer did not change during 4.6.x releases, so the problem was in a different upstream component, most likely xine or ffmpeg libraries.
