totem crashes on wrong url
Last modified: 2013-10-20 18:41:07 EDT
Description of problem: Totem crashes immediately if I give a wrong url Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): totem-0.99.17-1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. open totem player 2. open url "mirror.fluendo.com:8800" ( I know the url above is supposed to include http:// but totem shouldnt crash without it) Actual results: Immediate crash Expected results: let me know its a non existant url or add http:// automatically maybe? Additional info: gstreamer-0.8.7-2
Works for me with 0.99.18-2; can you still reproduce?
Ok. after running the update totem doesnt crash if given a wrong url. It just ignores this "mirror.fluendo.com:8800". I believe that a error dialog information that this is a non existant url would be more appropriate I tried "http://fluendo.com:8800". It hangs. I had to force quit the application and then it wouldnt start again. I restarted the machine. Was able to start totem now. gave url "http://mirror.fluendo.com:8800". totem said its streaming but didnt show anything for a few mins. was able to see a blue screen after sometime. tried again "http://fluendo.com:8800".was able to reproduce the earlier behaviour precisely. totem from the command line just returns the shell back immediately with no output. totem version is 0.99-19_1 If you require any further information please ask
One more thing. force quitting totem leaves a process running. I killed it as root and restarted the application successfully
ok. I can reproduce this problem with totem-1.1.3-1. This should definitely do better
Just test on FC6, and I definitely don't get a crash. As for making the Open Location more intelligent, it's already upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320521
