Bug 348739 – media-video/gnome-mplayer-1.0.0 constantly crashes after displaying first frame

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jordan 2010-12-14 20:20:44 UTC]

After I start playing a video with gnome-mplayer it crashes and prints this message to the terminal (when I run through terminal):
>(gnome-mplayer:26944): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_ascii_strncasecmp: assertion `s1 != NULL' failed
I tried unmasking and compiling dev-libs/glib-2.24.2 and rebooting, thinking that it was a problem in glib that was fixed. The problem still occurs. This issue also occurs with media-video/gnome-mplayer-0.9.9.2 but no text is printed to the terminal

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. play video with gnome-mplayer
2. gnome-mplayer crashes

A proper backtrace would be needed:

[Comment 3 Jordan 2010-12-15 03:12:55 UTC]

I compiled gnome-mplayer with the -ggdb compile flag and repeated the crash. But when I run gnome-mplayer I can't get a backtrace since gnome-mplayer don't close. It stays in a locked state.

[Comment 4 Jordan 2010-12-15 15:59:27 UTC]

I've discovered that gnome-mplayer locks up only when the sound is muted.

[Comment 5 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2011-04-22 11:28:51 UTC]

1. Try gnome-mplayer-1.0.3 instead.
2. If 1. doesn't work, report this here:

http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/issues/list

3. Provide a link to the upstream bug at the URL field.

Thanks.

[Comment 6 Jordan 2011-04-22 13:11:53 UTC]

I had completely forgotten about this bug report. gnome-mplayer-1.0.3 works fine.

[Comment 7 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2011-04-22 13:39:06 UTC]

good, no more to do here then
