totem-gstreamer-video-thumbnailer crashed with SIGSEGV in ff_vdpau_add_data_chunk()

[Marius Nestor]

Binary package hint: totem

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) with all updates released as of TODAY March 3rd, 2009

Every time when I right click on a WMV, MKV or MPG file and select Properties, Nautilus restarts and a GStreamer error appears!

The Properties window never appears, so I can not set any options to the above mentioned files.

Moreover, there are no thumbnails for the above mentioned files.

Totem doesn't play the above mentioned files, it freezes on WMV files and it closes in 2-3 seconds after opening MKV or MPEG-2 files!

Selecting multiple files works!

I've updated my system a few minutes ago (Date: March 3rd, 2009 - 22:00 PM +02:00 GMT). The system is up-to-date and I tracked the bug in the last 24 hours. So here it is, please process it this time! Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You have reported a crash that actually happened in the libavcodec or libavformat library. In order to be able to actually fix this bug, we must be able to:

1. Reproduce it;
2. Check if it happens with the latest version; and
3. Understand where it actually crashes.

You can help with the first point by attaching an example file to this bug report. Please note that a proper attachment is preferred over a link to some remote site. Remote sites that are password protected or otherwise restricted (services like rapidshare.com) are absolutely not acceptable. If you're file is too large, try to reproduce with the first few MB only. See http://ffmpeg.org/bugreports.html section "Submitting Sample Media" for guidelines.

could you try if the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.6.2 update in jaunty fixes your issue?
