Totem-xine crashes when trying to play mp3 from network drive

[drdaz]

Binary package hint: totem-xine

After upgrading from Edgy to Feisty, I am no longer able to play files containing mp3 streams from my network shares. Attempting to do so causes totem to segfault. This problem affects SSH and SMB shares (the only 2 protocols I use - others might have the same issue). This problem affects both plain mp3 audio files and video files containing mp3 streams. These same files play fine when downloaded to a local drive and opened.

I have built and installed libxine and totem from source (both repo versions and the latest releases from their respective sites), however this does not fix the issue. In addition, this occurs on 2 separate machines - my desktop and my Dell laptop (both upgraded from Edgy using Update Manager). totem-gstreamer is not affected by this issue.

I am filing this as a totem-xine issue, however it does seem likely that it is a libxine issue.

I can confirm this bug using a SMB share. Amarok for me works fine with SMB shares however which uses xine to play media however it seems it used to have problems as well as other xine based apps, ie Kaffine etc.

This appears to be a duplicate of <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xine-lib/+bug/32436">Bug #32436</a> as well.

It may well be a related bug, however I did not experience this issue using either Dapper or Edgy.

confirming this issue, I try to play mp3 file via network shares (SMB) and it opens totem-xine briefly and then shuts.
Annoying when you have your music stored on a network server, and want to quickly preview a track.

Same here !! As Chris Foster said , It's a bug in all xine based programs. mplayer works fine .

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
