The stack trace implies that gstreamer has corrupted its memory state somehow. A probable cause is that you have a media file that triggers a bug in either gstreamer or the plugins it uses (and probably only on ARM, too). Would it be possible for you to try to narrow down which file is causing this issue.

If you know your way around the shell, one way is to install the package gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-apps and then run gst-discoverer-1.0 <target file> on every file in your music and video directories.

Another, slightly cruder way, is to clear your device of all video files, and then copy them on the device in batches (such as one subdirectory at a time). Have pauses between each batch so the system has time to analyze the files before copying in new files. Eventually you should hit the crashing directory and from there on to the actual file.

Thanks
