some codec crashes totem and gnash on ppc

[hendrikwout]

Binary package hint: totem

I would like to play the video's on www.vrtnieuws.net . I think these are wmv-format. On a i386 it works (after installing the codecs). On ppc (imac g3) however, the totem-mozilla-plugin crashes. The videos on youtube don't work either through gnash (I use version 0.8.0 from the feisty-backports) (Gnash crashes). I also tried to open the videos from www.vrtnieuws.net with vlc and mplayer plugins , but they crash also with these videos.

Totem doesn't crash with all video content (like the videos from a sony photo camera ), so I think it's one of the codecs that doesn't work correctly on ppc.

I'm using totem-gstreamer. Here is the backtrace.

I forgot to say: I'm using Ubunt Feisty ppc.

It's using -maltivec when compiling. Unfortunately G3 CPUs don' have Altivec instructions => crash.

I'll upload a fix.
