shotwell-0.13.1-r2 segfaults with installed gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128
after opening the picture db on (~amd64)
unmerging gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128 fixes this problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start shotwell-0.13.1-r2 with installed media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128 (an existing picture db probably has to exist)


Actual Results:  
shotwell segfaults after opening the db.
if you unmerge media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128
shotwell works as it should.
To workaround this issue I added a 
=media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta-1.0-r1 -ffmpeg
to my package.use/
to prevent gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128 from being pulled in again

Could you please try to get some meaningfull backtrace (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml)?

And could you please run 

SHOTWELL_LOG=1 shotwell from a terminal and attach ~/.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log

What happens if media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg is installed?

It is already installed. Uninstalling it doesn't fix the problem.
gst-plugins-ffmpeg is for gstreamer-0.10 though and gst-plugins-libav is for gstreamer-1.0.

fyi:
still an issue with 
=gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128
and
=media-gfx/shotwell-0.14.0

[Comment 7 Account removed 2013-04-01 19:44:01 UTC]

with todays gstreamer updates (no idea which one fixed it, maybe 
media-libs/gstreamer-1.0.6 or media-libs/gst-plugins-base-1.0.6 or whatever)
this is no longer an issue and (my) shotwell (db) works with
media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav-1.1.0_pre20130128 installed.
I guess this bug can be closed then...

OKay, thanks for testing. Please reopen if it appears again.
