[cut] Response: [CUT] Yep, it's a well known memory corruption bug. I suggest you to try CVS version of xine-ui. [CUT] Yet no other workaround was proposed than trying the CVS version of xine-ui. I think that in that case it would be reasonable to either remove the 0.99.2 version from portage, hard-mask it or replace with a cvs version.

I looked over the xine-ui changes since the last release and the only related change I could find was the following: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xine/xine-ui/src/xitk/actions.c?r1=1.246&r2=1.247&sortby=date&diff_format=u Could you try xine-ui with the patch applied and see if it fixes the problem? Thank you.
Well, the MRL problem seems to be gone now. The patch howerver needs a little lifting: hell xine-ui-0.99.2 # patch -p2 < patch.diff patching file src/xitk/actions.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 17.

I've opened a few mpg/avi files in a row using GUI (Open -> File). It seemed to work fine. Then I've opened Rammstein - Mein Teil.mpg. From now on any time I want to open anything, xine simply ignores it... neither doesn't give any output nor plays the file. When I click stop and then try to open a movie, xine usually crashes: gui_xine_open_and_play(): mrl: '/mnt/public/Teledyski/Linkin Park - Numb - Live on Kimmel.mpg', sub 'NONE', start_pos 0, start_time 0, av_offset 0, spu_offset 0. xine: found input plugin : wtyczka wejścia pliku xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP. Przerwane I don't know if the problem is in the way that the clip was encoded or something... I just know that works fine with xine-0.99.1 ;-) 2. xiTK recieves SIGSEGV _very_ randomly and _very_ not rarely :( Regards, Koxta
CVS snapshot now in portage. Give it awhile to propigate not only the ebuild, but also the snapshot tarball as well. Thanks for posting, it does indeed seem much more stable.
Yeah, the SIGSEGv problem is finally gone... however, there is one thing that still bugs me... When I do Open -> File, the file is being added to the queue... It should be played instantly instead. Is there any option that changes this awful behaviour? Or is it just a ,,feature''?
