New build crashes when trying to browse files

[Mathew Long]

Version: pogo_0.8.7-0~656~ubuntu14.04.1

Playlist is empty after update. When trying to browse and add files pogo crashes immediately.

Error message:

Segmentation fault

Deleted config data + purged and reinstalled, still not working. Decibel is playing fine. Please write if i need to add additional information.

Thanks for the report! Could you please start pogo from the command line and report the output here (including the output for the crash)?

I suspect that the bug lies in an underlying library. If you can't get a more informative error message, I recommend uninstalling Pogo and installing a previous version from the stable PPA: https://launchpad.net/~pogo-dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable

Unfortunately the machine the crash occured running 14.04 (Mint 17.3) is unavailable for about a week so i cannot post the output. If i remember it correctly there was nothing unusual in the commandline output till the moment i accessed the left pane, resulting in a crash and the line "Segmentation fault".

I remember an additional mutagen install when updating pogo.

On another computer (same model), but updated to 16.04 (Mint 18.1) Pogo isn't even starting. CL Output:

After deleting the config data everything is working as expected. This did not help on the other pc.

Thanks for the info!

14.04: This indeed sounds like an error in an underlying library. I
think you'll have to stick to the last released Pogo version there,
version 0.8.7. A suitable package is available in the stable PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~pogo-dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable

16.04: The new code couldn't handle the old preferences file. This is
now fixed. Thanks!
