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?

Just updated to gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (0.10.6.2-1) ... , but same result. Tested on a 1Go mkv file.

When is 0.10.6.2 supposed to land in repos? I updates to 0.10.6.2-1 just an hour ago or so.

Hmm sorry ... I just read myself again :)
Ignore the last line of my previous message. (i was thinking about 0.10.6.2-2 ...)

could you try to get an example as request before then?

here is the smallest thing i could find. Not mkv, but causes nautilus to crash too.

I still have the same problem, too .mp4 and several .flv files are also not playable.

I checked out the video codecs and found out that all files, no matter if they were a .mp4 .mkv .flv, used the h264 video codec. I got this from the information ffmpeg gave me.

I added an .flv video as attachment, but it should do as well.

Yep, same behaviour with karl's file.

those files don't crash on jaunty there. do you get the issue using ffplay too?

Hi Sebasteien,

Yes the bug has been fixed!

Many Thanks,

Martin

good closing the bug now then

Well, i dont understand.

First, this bug, from my point of view has nothing to do with ffmpeg: nautilus crashes, and still crashes now after the update, and a reboot.

I reported this bug under Nautilus, it has been moved to gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg which has been patched...but i still get the exact same behaviour. And the bug is now closed.

Should i reopen the exact same bug using apport by retriggering it, this bug being 100% reproducable?

the stacktrace is clear, nautilus crashes due to totem trying to get informations on the video to add those to the nautilus dialog, the update fixed the issue for me that's why I closed the bug, could you copy the command line log if you run totem there and trigger the crash?

could somebody having the crash open a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org?

After the fix the behaviour of nautilus is still the same.
Under totem-xine I can play the files, but when I tried to open the properties menu in nautilus, it still crashes.

could you open a GNOME bug?

ok, I can get the issue after installing libavcodec-unstripped-52 instead of libavcodec52, does anybody else use the unstripped version?

ok, I can confirm the crash at end of the video examples on launchpad with the unstripped version and the upstream change for bug #330165 fixes the issue

This bug was fixed in the package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg - 0.10.6.2-1ubuntu1

---------------
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (0.10.6.2-1ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/06_disable_vdpau_decoder.patch:
    - git change to disable the vdpau decoder that should fix lot of crashers
      (lp: #330165, #332860)

I use the unstripped version.

after I uninstalled the unstripped version and installed libavcodec52 everything runs fine for me.

Thanks for your help!

confirming also that installing libavcodec52 instead of libavcodec-unstripped-52 fixes both crashes for me:
one with thumbnailer and other with video file properties

Confirming too: "installing libavcodec52 instead of libavcodec-unstripped-52 fixes both crashes"

Merci pour ton aide Sebastien.

using the updated gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and the unstripped variant should work too now, can you confirm that the update fixes the crash?

Yep, everything seems to be working now.
Pass my thanks along to whomever it applies.

I can now also confirm the crash is gone -> bug solved

fixed after update. mkv and mp4 working normaly, thanks

installing libavcodec52 instead of the unstripped variant works for me as well
