Totem hangs when asked to play DVD

[Murray Cumming]

Binary package hint: totem

Totem hangs when I choose the "Movie"/"Play DVD Disc 'DVDVolume'" menu item with the DVD "Dogma" in the drive. I don't know yet if it's a problem with all DVDs. It is an external USB DVD drive.

Strangely, I only even see that "Play DVD Disc 'DVDVolume'" menu item the first time I open that menu. If I move away and reopen the menu (just moving the mouse), that menu item disappears until I restart Totem. Maybe that is a clue.

Attaching to the hanged totem process with gdb (after installing the totem and gstreamer dbg packages) gives me these backtraces

[Murray Cumming (murrayc)]

This is in Ubuntu Hardy.

[Milan Bouchet-Valat (nalimilan)]

It could be nice to check if this is still present in Intrepid. DVD playback is quite problematic, I don't really hope anybody will fix that if it's only in Hardy (sorry...).

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks for the report Murray, is this still an issue? it looks like a hang on libdvdread rather than in gstreamer

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

rather than in totem i mean.

[David Johnston (davedcj)]

See also bug report #317057 which relates to both bugs #280780 (this) and #219062

further to update from Milan on 08/12/27, looks like its not just a bug for Hardy - I have Intrepid installed.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try if that's still an issue in jaunty?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in the previous comments, we need to investigate the problem further. However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.
