Totem Freezes on Pause

[Devscott]

When I pause a movie in Totem and then hit play, the movie never resumes.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks foir your bug. What version of totem do you use? totem-gstreamer or totem-xine? What kind of format is that?

[Devscott (devscott)]

I tried this with the latest release (totem 1.0.5) and the problem is present there also.

./configure --enable-gtk --enable-mozilla --enable-nautilus --enable-gstreamer

So I guess that would be totem-gstreamer

Happens with
*.avi
*.wmv
*.mpg

[Devscott (devscott)]

Strace... quite long. Used a *.mpg file

Which package of totem do you have installed. Could you run dpkg -l totem* | grep ^ii ? Could you please follow the steps on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and add the output here?

[Devscott (devscott)]

Reinstalled Breezy, but problem still occurs on fresh install.

scott@Carbon:~$ dpkg -l totem* | grep ^ii
ii totem 1.2.0-0ubuntu3 A simple media player for the Gnome desktop (dummy package)
ii totem-gstreamer 1.2.0-0ubuntu3 A simple media player for the Gnome desktop based on gstrea

Could you please follow the steps on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the output here, when you try to open that file? Could you attach the output of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' as well?

[Devscott (devscott)]

I get this error when I try to follow those steps

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

About the build failures, I'm not sure how they could happen. Did you succeed in the end?

Could you do the steps of your last step again and type 'bt' if 'thread apply all bt' doesn't give no output?

[Devscott (devscott)]

I tried it with a audio file instead of a video file. Same problem. I hit pause, and the play and the song never resumes

here is the gdb output but only doing the "bt" instead of "thread apply all bt"

About the build errors. I did not succeed in the end with the latest totem-gstreamer package from ubuntu repo. I ended up building from the latest stable version of totem (1.05) with this as a configure

./configure --enable-gtk --enable-mozilla --enable-nautilus --enable-gstreamer

[Devscott (devscott)]

Further testing and searching makes me wonder if my problem mimics this

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322927

Tried to see if the pause in rhythmbox worked, but I get the same result. It pauses, but never resumes when I unpause it.

How do I change this from a totem bug to a gstreamer bug?

[Devscott (devscott)]

Sure enough. With the latest totem, replacing

./configure --enable-gtk --enable-mozilla --enable-nautilus --enable-gstreamer

with

./configure --enable-gtk --enable-mozilla --enable-nautilus --enable-xine

I'm able to pause and unpause properly

[Devscott (devscott)]

Fixed in the Latest release of Totem.

Thanks for following up.
