reboot (that means bmp has not been started yet during that session, strange I know), run bmp, clear the playlist and try to add files... I know that it's a bad description and a strange bug but it can be reproduced. By the way, it also happens on the x86 machine of a friend of mine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run bmp 2.clear playlist 3.add files Actual Results: bmp crashes
(1) please attach "emerge info" output (2) which version of bmp is this? otherwise we can't help ...
See comment #1 and reopen w/ needed information.

I may have hit this bug earlier on. Please be sure that you do not have the bmp-docklet plugin emerged. If you have; unmerge it then try again. If this does not help; please try if -r6 is any better. If not, please try to comment patches in the ebuild and see if you can find a responsible patch. Has it always been this way or was this introduced in a recent update?
bmp-docklet is not emerged, version -r6 includes the same bug, I have none of the bmp-* plugins emerged and it has always been that way, since I switched to Gentoo about 6 months ago.
I'm beginning to think this is related to your UTF8 locale. Would you mind trying with a 'C' locale? Clearing the playlist and adding files is no problem here.

Please test and reopen the bug once you have the results in.
It really seems to be related to my locale de_DE.utf-8... the question is: why is bmp the only app that cannot cope with my language and why is it exactly this locale? bmp is great but this is strange.
Please report this bug upstream, beep-media-player appears unable to cope with UTF8. You may want to try bmpx, especially as upstream appears to concentrate all development time on bmpx with none left for bmp. bmpx is in the portage tree, and bmp will be obsoleted once bmpx does a stable release.
