Description dt123456 2024-06-18 20:54:34 UTC
My apologies folks, but I'm new to bug reporting and the concept of a "backtrace", much less a backtrace with debug symbols may as well be alien language to me. I've read the page you have suggested and it was utterly no help. 

Allow me to explain in plain English what I've found - it couldn't be easier to reproduce:

After updating my version of Kdenlive to the newest release (24.05.1), every single mp4 video I import into the timeline freezes within the timeline at either the 5:00 mark or the 6:00 mark. 

There is clearly more video left in the timeline, but the display shown in the project monitor simply stops as if it's reached the end of the video clip. The vertical line that marks your place in the timeline continues to move normally if you hit play, but the video simply stays locked, frozen on that last frame. The audio freezes at that point too; changing from normal to a succession of rapid clicks that sound like static as that vertical line progresses through the remaining timeline.

As mentioned, the bug is easily reproduced - every clip I attempt to edit has the same problem; including clips I've previously edited with Kdenlive. I've used Kdenlive for more than 5 years without incident, this behavior is very sudden and very odd...    

I'm running the newest version of Linux Mint Cinnamon (21.3 - Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-112-generic)

Again, my apologies for not reporting this in the expected manner.

Hello.

I'm having the same issue with version 24.05.1 in Ubuntu 24.04, installed via Flatpak. No matter which clip I try to add to my project, the clip always stops at the 5:00/6:00 minute mark as if there's no more video to play, even though that's not the case (clips of 15, 22 mins....)

Same issue, 24.05.1 time line freezes at 5 minutes. Latest Mint 21.3, reloaded everthing, same issue. My other PC has 24.05.0 works. Flatpack version.
