Totem freezes on playlists from emusic.com

[John Stilian]

Binary package hint: totem

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
Totem Version: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1

When playing an m3u playlist from emusic.com (i.e. http://www.emusic.com/samples/m3u/album/11491922/1.m3u ), Totem will randomly become unresposive when opening a new track. Totem becomes greyed out and must be killed. No opportunity to file a bug is offered.

Thanks for the report, I've reproduced the playlist twice with totem karmic version and didn't encounter any issues with it. Could you please obtain a backtrace of the freeze? just follow 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. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't seem to replicate the problem without attaching to an already hung instance of Totem, but here are the results.

I was checking out some music over at eMusic and didn't end up with a single crash. There have been a number of Totem and GStreamer updates since I filed this; one of them have fixed my problem.

It's probably safe to close this if you feel like it.
