 totem | GStreamer backend | Ver: 1.3.x

Andy,

On my system totem runs properly within a GNOME-2.14-beta1 framework
[GARNOME-2.13.90] when built using either gst-0.8.11 or lib-xine-1.1.1.  It
does not run on my system when built using the gst-0.10 back end. 

So what does it do when built using gstreamer-0.10.2? 

* launch the application
=> totem comes up
* select an avi file or an mp3 file
=> file name shows up in playlist
* totem hangs
=> no video, no audio... The application is "dead"

OK... So try it from within GDB to see what can be learned.

What happens:

(1) see the sig33 error

(2) trap the sig33 error per Bastien's instructions
=> application sits there doing nothing... no audio, no video, nothing

(3) issue a ^C from within gdb and collect the back trace.
The only element that looks even vaguely suspicious s

#22 0x100374cc in bacon_video_widget_open_with_subtitle (bvw=0x10662d18,
    mrl=0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>,
    subtitle_uri=0x100e44c8 "http", error=0x0)
    at bacon-video-widget-gst-0.10.c:2166

What could the problem be?  

Maybe there is an issue with gstreamer-0.10.2? Other apps like Rhythmbox do
work when built with gstreamer-0.10.2, but...

Let's try the gstreamer internal tests to see what can be learned.  Initially
they fail because of a R_PPC_REL24 relocation problem that is traced back to
how 'check' was built. Check is recompiled with '-fPIC'. All 34 gstreamer tests
pass. So... I am back looking at totem.

It's encouraging news to hear that you have totem running on a powerbook. 
Which variant of linux are you running?

What I am doing at the moment is a clean build of GARNOME-2.13.90 under a clean
install of YDL-4.1 [an FC4 clone]. I would be very happy if the problem just
goes away after a clean build.  I should have some results later today. 

-Joseph
