totem crash in DVD playback in Jaunty

[Derek]

Opened "Hancock" and launched in totem - played opening credits track, then crashed with following assertion:
totem: /build/buildd/libdvdnav-4.1.3/src/vm/vm.c:1179: play_Cell_post: Assertion `0' failed.

There was some information prior to that:

mplayer dvd://1 (movie was on first one)
worked just fine, but given the error appears related to dvd nav, I guess that's not that surprising.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[Derek (bugs-m8y)]

Yeah. I considered attaching a trace. However, it seemed to me less than likely that it would add much useful information since there is a line number with a precise assertion - seemed to me the trace would simply reveal the path to that dvd nav routine, which is probably very uninteresting.

However, I'll go ahead and *add* a trace since I've noticed in past that interesting, and highly reproducible bugs, have been closed by folks on launchpad due to the bug author failing to provide a trace. Far be it from me to suggest this is a method to get the bug count down, but... :)

Will get that to you in a bit.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue is not getting the bug count down but being efficient with the bug triage ressource we have, there is a high number of bugs opened and detailled ones makes the work easier for everybody

similar problem for me.
libdvdread4?

[alt-os (rizzo-g-deactivatedaccount)]

Seems to be a compatibility problem with the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux: removing the gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad package and resinstalling it back (this time allowing the system to remove the conflicting packag) have solved the problem here.

A lack of dependencies check in upgrade time would explain why the problem occurs just on updated systems (8.10 -> 9.04) and not on new installed 9.04 systems.

[Derek (bugs-m8y)]

Thanks for the suggestion. Before I verify it on my system, I'll have to find another crashing DVD - Hancock was long ago returned.

[RPHegde (rphegde)]

Works for me. Thanks for the info

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try if that's still an issue?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try if that's still an issue?

[Derek (bugs-m8y)]

Oh. Shoot. Forgot. Um. Will try to remember to check tonight.

I'm having a similar problem:

- System updated from 8.10 -> 9.04
- Totem crashes when attempting to play a DVD
- Error output shows problem is in libdvdnav
- Am able to play the DVD successfully via mplayer dvd: //1

I've built Totem with debug, output below:

Same problem. Upgraded from 8.10. Removing the gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad package and resinstalling it back (this time allowing the system to remove the conflicting packag) also solved the problem for me.

[Andy Munro (such0ne-ttl)]

Installing gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad (it wasn't originally installed so there were no conflicting packages) seems to have solved the problenm for me too - thanks!
