1.1.8 from ppa:maverick-bleed/ppa crashes at end of media
Posted: 29 Mar 2011 19:41
Hello,
In order to overcome screensaver issues I recently upgraded vlc to 1.1.8 on ubuntu 10.10 via the maverick-bleed/ppa per:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=86959&p=287875&hil ... 5d#p287875
This upgrade now has a more serious issue of not continuing once it reaches the end of media.
There are numerous mkv and mp4 files listed in the playlist, if I click the "Next Media" button the screen blanks and playback stops.
The application doesn't come to a complete halt, it just stops playing media. The menus still display on click, but will not respond to media commands.
I started vlc from command line and the following output is generated when the fault occurs:
I then attached to the running process with gdb and obtained the following traceback:
Some stack error seems to have occured.
Any advice is appreciated, including instructions for downgrading back to stock from a ppa upgrade.
Many Thanks...
