The crash is caused by the phonon-backend-xine. Please use a different Phonon backend, the xine backend is deprecated as upstream development is stalled. What other backend do you recommend? Beside Xine 4.4.4 I have GStreamer 4.5.1 (which I think is also deprecated) and VLC 0.2.0 backends. I've chosen VLC for now. I don't think I can easily try to reproduce this bug because the network problems are very random. With "upstream development is stalled" you mean development of xine or of the xine phonon backend? Hmm, the VLC backend is pretty much useless, because it does not recognize *.it, *.s3m and *.xm files! Yes, VLC can play these files. Dragon player can play these files if you start it from the shell with the file as argument. But for some reason Phonon *thinks* it cannot play these files. Well I'm not gonna use the VLC backend before this is fixed. I guess amarok has no purged all information about my tracker files from its DB. :/ (In reply to comment #2) > What other backend do you recommend?

Which is not exactly new, the currently released version is 0.4.0, you definitely should upgrade. > I've chosen VLC for now.

The development in xine. Well, 0.2.0 is the only version provided by all the repos (rpmfusion etc.) I configured for my Fedora 14 installation. Do you know an rpm repo with a newer VLC Phonon backend? $ yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing info phonon-backend-vlc Available Packages Name : phonon-backend-vlc Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.4.0 Release : 1.fc14 Size : 88 k Repo : rpmfusion-free-updates-testing Summary : VLC phonon backend URL : http://phonon.kde.org/ License : LGPLv2+ Description : VLC phonon backend. *** Bug 278201 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
