Bug ID: 444064 Summary: ffmpegthumbs causes Dolphin to "hang" when viewing properties / details of video file on network share (CIFS/SMB) Product: kdemultimedia Version: unspecified Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: crash Priority: NOR Component: ffmpegthumbs Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: windows2li...@zoho.com Target Milestone: --- VERSION INFO: ffmpegthumbs: 21.08.2 Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.10-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz Memory: 15.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel Xe Graphics --- All scenarios assume CIFS network share, SMB protocol version 3; mounted either via manual mount, fstab, systemd unit, or Smb4K. The following scenarios are *very likely* to make Dolphin "hang": * Prerequisite: ffmpegthumbs is installed * Prerequisite: Previews are enabled in Dolphin (video previews are enabled) 1. With Dolphin, browse to a CIFS network share 1a. Right-click a video file -> Properties Result: Dolphin hangs for several seconds or more (unresponsive) 2. In Dolphin Browse to CIFS network share 2a. Enable the "Details" pane 2b. Click on a video file Result: Dolphin hangs for several seconds or more (unresponsive) --- The following scenarios will *NOT* make Dolphin hang: 3. Repeat any of the above, however, use a LOCAL folder (rather than a network share) 4. Repeat any of the above, however, use a READ-ONLY mounted network share ("ro") 5. Repeat any of the above, however DISABLE "Video File" previews (or uninstall ffmpegthumbs) --- FURTHER NOTES: This isn't 100% a consistent hang. Sometimes it will "just work", but I noticed the majority of the time it hangs Dolphin. Scenario #4 above is very peculiar. For some reason using the "ro" (read-only) mount option on the CIFS network share alleviates the problem entirely! In all the above scenarios, video thumbnails generate properly. The hang only occurs when trying to view the file's properties (either via right-click -> Properties, or by enabling the Details pane and clicking on the file.) --- I am going to prepare a video capture to show exactly what happens. Any more information needed? Let me know what would be most useful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
