segfault when trying to watch DVB-S

[André Köhler]

Binary package hint: totem

I am not sure if this is a bug in Totem or libgstreamer.

I created a dvb-channels.conf with the dvb-tools' package's "scan" tool and placed it in ~/.gstreamer-0.10.

package: totem 2.24.3-0ubuntu1 (intrepid-proposed)
package: totem 2.24.2-0ubuntu4 (intrepid)
package: libgstreamer0.10.21-4 (intrepid)

I start Totem.
I select "Watch TV with DVB-Adapter 0"
The channel list appears to the right, but no video is shown, because the first channel of the list is loaded and it's a data channel. I double click on any other channel where I know it should work (tested with Kaffeine).
Totem silently exits, instead of tuning to the channel and displaying the DVB stream.

Looking at kern.log, I see there's a segfault posted each time this happens:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a '.crash' file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

 If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

 If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

 If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.
 I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
