Bug 19694 – xmms-infinity Doesn't play well with others (Mark Unstable?)

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jason H. 2003-04-20 17:36:31 UTC]

The plugin seems to disagree with OpenGL plugins, just causing a segfault when
one is running.

With other SDL plugins, the plugin tries to embed itself in the window of the
other plugin.

My guess is that the problem is occuring somewhere within some exit sequence and
SDL.

It's easy enough to avoid, just don't emerge it, or run with other programs.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Example 1: Start Nebulus (Stable) + Start Infinity (?) = Get segfault

Example 2: Start Infinity + Start any other SDL based pugin (like JESS) = Get
theese:
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x4e0f)! + segfault.

Example 3: Start Infinity + Start Blurscope, then stop blurscope, (Using plugin
config dialoug) get Xlib errors and crashes XMMS.

Actual Results:  
The plugin usually crashes XMMS.

Expected Results:  
If it's not possible to make it more social, it should exit cleanly instead of
causing XMMS to just crash.

I can definately make thing crash with other SDL plugins (JESS, Nebulus) but the same is true if i run any two sdl plugins at the same time.

Still investigating.

[Comment 2 Nick Hadaway 2003-08-14 14:02:35 UTC]

This is definitely not a problem specifically with xmms-infinity but i have had some issues with unstability even running it as the only plugin.

[Comment 3 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-02-01 01:19:34 UTC]

This is still happening using:
media-sound/xmms-1.2.9-r1
media-plugins/xmms-infinity-0.2  
media-plugins/xmms-nebulus-0.5.0  
media-plugins/xmms-jess-2.9.1

I'll recompile SDL, xmms, and these plugins with debugging symbols and get some more info...

Any of you games people think you might be able to help out here with this SDL stuff...

This isn't a gentoo problem...  hopefully the SDL developers will fix this in a later version...
