thanks for the report, is this reproducible? any chance to attach the mpg file?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

looks like bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426990 ; linking the report.

Considering the last comment in that linked bug says "everything has changed, unless someone can provide us with something more recent, we are closing the bug" - I strongly suspect that whilst these bugs look the say, the are not actually the same.

Have you asked anyone upstream to look into this?

Cheers,
Anand

This has been fixed upstream now:

"This should have been fixed since src/backend/bacon-video-widget-gst-0.10.c.
movie_par pointed to a const GValue * that could have easily been freed later.

That patch made it into 2.29, so if anything newer crashes, please reopen."

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

this is fixed on lucid now and it was a totem issue after all.
