thanks for the report, may you please install the gstreamer dbgsym packages and get a new backtrace? the one you attached is missing some symbols, thanks.

Thanks for your answer. I installed all gstreamer-dbg packages and created a new backtrace which hopefully contains all symbols needed.

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 11.10 alpha 2 and Nautilus 3 :

Each time I do a right click and select "Properties" on a file, not only mp4, Nautilus freezes, no Properties window appears and I have to force quit the program.

Some of the error messages I get when I run Nautilus from terminal :

(nautilus:6306): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

(nautilus:6440): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed

For me, the problem has been a version of libva installed from http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/

I did not install libva and this problem still occurs in Oneiric alpha 3 for me.

In a fresh install of Ubuntu Oneiric beta, bug does not occur anymore, clicking on Properties well launches the Nautilus window with file properties.

Was wondering if there was a fix for those that can't do a fresh install at the moment.

The comment suggest the issue is not with nautilus itself, closing the bug, if you still get a similar issue use ubuntu-bug to report it?
