totem crashed with SIGSEGV in drop_cb()

[Martijn vdS]

Binary package hint: totem

I was watching a video, and dragged a link to an .asx file from epiphany to the playlist sidebar in totem. This made it crash.

It also works when playing a local file, instead of a file over ssh://

(where works == crashes)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[Martijn vdS (martijn)]

I can reproduce it on my amd64 machine at work as well.

Valgrind doesn't work (SIGILL), but I got a better trace, attached.

[Martijn vdS (martijn)]

And here's the backtrace I made while following the HOWTO..

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you try if that's still happening with the new 2.19.90 version? Does it happen when you dnd files from your disk or only link from a webbrowser?

[Martijn vdS (martijn)]

2.19.90 isn't on my mirror yet, I'll try when it gets there.

It doesn't happen when I dnd from nautilus.

The page I dnd from is: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ (the 'Watch with Windows Media (Best for Full Screen)' link). I use epiphany as my web browser.

[Martijn vdS (martijn)]

Doing it the other way around (first start the NASA video, then drag a video from the local disk to the side-pane) doesn't crash it either.

[Martijn vdS (martijn)]

Same crash, reproducable in 2.19.90

[Martijn vdS (martijn)]

Crash also happens when totem has an empty playlist, and you drag the link to it.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Confirmed, I've sent the bug upstream on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469184

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug has been fixed to the upstream svn
