Thank you for your bug report, could you describe what you do to trigger the bug?

[Martin Olsson (mnemo)]

Step by step instructions on how to trigger the bug is already present in the description.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the description doesn't state if the crashes happens immediatly or at the end of the file though

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the crash seems similar to bug #421318 which happens after playing or when closing

[Martin Olsson (mnemo)]

Ah sorry the correct repro steps are (for some reason I cant edit the description right now due to some LP JSON bug):

1. wget http://www.archive.org/download/Sita_Sings_the_Blues/Sita_Sings_the_Blues_720p.mp4
2. gdb --args totem Sita_Sings_the_Blues_720p.mp4
3. wait a few seconds
4. close totem
5. Fatal Python error: PyEval_SaveThread: NULL tstate

[Martin Olsson (mnemo)]

btw I found this issue when I was playing around with bug #397192 (even though this bug is in nautilus), but anyway bug #421318 looks very similar to this one. maybe it should be marked as a dupe.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the bug is a duplicate your description was indeed lacking details, it's crashing on closing
