Description of problem: There are many different situations when totem crashes. This came after updateing to FC3 (before that it only had performance problems). After playinf for a while totem does not accept any more files to be added to the playlist. It gives iut the following: "(totem:4735): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gvaluetypes.c: line 785 (g_value_get_string): assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_STRING (value)' failed " it continues playing, but when I try to close the playlist it suggest to close the whole totem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.99.19 How reproducible: Allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. open laylist window of totem. 2. put some music files in the playlist window 3. play the list. 4. add more files Actual results: totem crashes Expected results: continuous playing.
Could you please run "totem --g-fatal-warnings" and reproduce the bug? This should give you the full backtrace in bug-buddy.

You also need to install the debuginfo packages for totem and perhaps gtk so that we can see debuging symbols.
ignore the above comment. Looks like you do have debug info.
Is this still reproducible with FC5, and totem-1.4.0? There have been a lot of updates and changes, especially to totem, since FC3.
no
Problem solved, closing.
