The crash appears to be in gstreamer upstream, not much we can do about, sorry. As a workaround, please use the phonon-backend-vlc instead. You will have to restart KDE to make the change active (or restart Amarok if you are not on KDE). *** Bug 317654 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 318614 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 318992 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 319079 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Just got the same crash. A while ago, I used to get a similar crash, but using the XINE backend (bug 219241). The solution there was: "A workaround for users suffering from this bug: the crash affects only the xine backend. If you switch the phonon backend in system settings to e.g. gstreamer you shouldn't have any crashes in amarok related to this bug." Sure, I can switch from gstreamer to VLC, but this is kind of silly. @Dima - Yeah, I switched to the VLC backend but I'm still experiencing the same types of crashes. And for whatever reason, despite having phonon-backend-vlc-dbg packages installed, I can never get konqi to give me a backtrace w/ symbols when using the VLC backend, only with the gstreamer backend. Perhaps the gstreamer 1.0 backend will help with these crashes but I really think they're not related to the backend at this point. *** Bug 319371 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #7) > @Dima - Yeah, I switched to the VLC backend but I'm still experiencing the > same types of crashes.

FWIW, your last bug report shows you still sue the gstreamer backend, and it is the exact same bug as this one, no need to file it again.

Well, we depend on the backends phonon provides. And FWIW, the xine backend is deprecated since almost 3 years now, you talk about very old stuff here. Since almost three years there are only 2 maintained backends: the gstreamer and the vlc one, and the current situation is sadly out of our hands, no idea what is wrong upstream, sorry. But at least we can offer you a workaround. If you don't like the situation, how about actually giving a hand to solve the issue and get in touch with the KDE multimedia developers? Calling a proposed workaround silly is far from helping.... *** Bug 319371 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Let's make 319371 a meta-bug for this issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 319371 *** |
