Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Dolphin crashes upon selecting a movie file. I believe the crash is related to the preview/information bar on the right because if I close the information panel, I can select the file without crashing Dolphin. (Side note: after selecting the file, if I re-open the information panel and try right-clicking on the same file, Dolphin freezes.) The backtrace wasn't rated as useful. I tried using gdb to get more information, but don't think I was successful. Both backtraces are pasted below. I'd be happy to reproduce the crash again with more instructions. This crash appears similar to another recurring crash on my computer with KNotify. Knotify seems to crash spontaneously on boot up, sometimes when using Dolphin, sometimes when using Ksnapshot. I haven't reported the bug because the backtraces don't appear to be useful, and so far I haven't been able to reproduce it when tracking with gdb.

Looks like a bug/problem in the Xine multimedia library. - Have you identified the file that causes this behaviour ? If you had, can you play it using a Xine-enabled player (like GXine or Xine-UI) to see if that applications also crash ? Thanks
Yes, the bug does appear to be in the xine library. It crashes the xine-based players, and now also crashes amarok (or at least the backtrace looks identical). I also cannot open up the module in KDE System Settings to change the backend - system settings also crash :( Any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks a lot!
Try reinstalling the "xinelib" package.
Thank you, but reinstalling the "xinelib" package (which I believe corresponds to "libxine1" on Kubuntu) doesn't seem to help. I've also tried reinstalling all of the following packages and the error still crops up: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxine1 libxine1-bin libxine1-gnome libxine1-misc-plugins libxine1-x libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxinerama1 libxinerama-dev xine-ui libxine1-dbg I appreciate your assistance, but since this is not specifically a KDE-related bug, I'd be happy to take it elsewhere if you could direct me. Thanks!
Please open a new bug report at bug http://bugs.xine-project.org/ Do not forget to comment about your xine version, and which kind of files (format) cause the crash + attaching the backtrace. Thank you very much
