[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Could you please obtain a backtrace? Simply run 'gdb -ex run --args beatbox'. When the app crashes, you will then be prompted via command line. type 'bt' and hit enter. Continue hitting enter until the whole backtrace is visible, and then copy/paste it here. Thanks!

[Brendan William (bwilliam)]

I actually removed it, but I can install it again if you like.

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

It would be appreciated :)

[Kurt Smolderen (kurt.smolderen)]

Getting the same result... Backtrace is listed below.

Thanks for having a look at it!

[Mark Lutring (marcus-elitemail)]

This bug affects me too, do you want that i enclose another stacktrace?

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Another stacktrace could possibly be helpful, if you don't mind.

[Curtis Hovey (sinzui)]

This is the back trace from my attempt add a single file. I was able to import more than 10,000 songs without an error, but now I cannot add any more songs.

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Curtis, that backtrace indicates a problem with taglib which is an external library that beatbox uses. You say this happens everytime?

[Wolfie! (thomas-siladi)]

Actually it would be really great if the creator of this project could fix this bug. ^^

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Wolfie!'s bug is fixed in rev600. I am also hoping that original bug is fixed, but not 100% sure.

[Kurt Smolderen (kurt.smolderen)]

Just tried the latest version of Beatbox (rev 603). Original bug still exists.

[INFO 20:45:07.572345] [GStreamerTagger:420] Loaded embedded art from file:///home/ksmolder/Music/Hans%20Zimmer/The%20Last%20Samurai/(Hans%20Zimmer%20-%20The%20Last%20Samurai)%201.01%20-%20A%20Way%20of%20Life%20(Album%20Version).mp3
TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate.
[WARN 20:45:07.795688] [GLib-GObject] invalid cast from `GObject' to `BeatBoxAlbum'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Are you playing music or interacting with the UI at all when this happens? This may help to find the cause.

[Kurt Smolderen (kurt.smolderen)]

No, not doing anything at all. I just rescan my music library...

Would it help if I provide you with an album on which Beatbox crashes?

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

If you can provide the exact file, that would be great. If the album name, album artist or artist has crazy characters that may be helpful too.

In the meantime, I just pushed out another possible fix that will be in revision 605.

[Kurt Smolderen (kurt.smolderen)]

I did some further testing and came to a method to reproduce the crash:

1) Preparations:
    - Remove the beatbox user directory (.local/share/beatbox)
    - Create a new temporary Music directory and put one album in it

2) Initial import succeeds
    - Open Beatbox and select the newly created directory as your music location
    - Beatbox will import the album correctly (including album cover)
    - Close Beatbox

3) Adding albums makes beatbox crash
    - Put an additional album in the music directory
    - Open beatbox and rescan your music folder
    - Beatbox crashes
    - Open Beatbox: one track (sometimes more) of the second album is (are) imported, but no album cover is showed
    - Rescan your music folder
    - Beatbox correctly imports all other tracks from the second album, including cover artwork

Step 3 is repeatable for every additional album put in the music folder. Also, when multiple albums are put in the music folder, Beatbox will import them one by one, crashing after loading a few tracks from each album (except for the first album which is imported completely).

[Kurt Smolderen (kurt.smolderen)]

I've created a small set of mp3's which can be used to reproduce the crashes this bug report is about.

Just start with copying the folder 'Artist 1' to your music directory and follow the steps as explained in my previous comment (https://bugs.launchpad.net/beat-box/+bug/999162/comments/15).

[Scott Ringwelski (sgringwe)]

Revision 613 has (hopeful) fix. If someone could confirm, it would be much appreciated.

[Kurt Smolderen (kurt.smolderen)]

Fixed indeed for me! Great job!
