I can confirm this bug on Ubuntu dapper: totem-gstreamer: 1.4.1-0ubuntu4 libgstreamer0.10-0: 0.10.6-0ubuntu2 gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs: 0.10.7-0ubuntu4
If I try to play e.g. "Stargate Atlantis [2x01] The Siege - Part 3 (XviD asd).avi" via smb, totem just sits there. No messages on the console. I can copy this file from Nautilus to my desktop and play it locally just fine. It is stalling before it even checks for the file's existence--it doesn't matter if I delete the file first, if I try to play an smb url with that file name in it, it still stalls. If I change the "2x01" to "2-01", "2x1", or even "1x01" it works just fine. It appears like it is something unique to the "2x*" sequence that is confusing it. It doesn't matter if the filename is urlencoded or not. I get this problem with all of the filenames in this set, including 2x10 - 2x20. What's really strange, is that if I change "2x01" to "2x10" in the above file, it -does- work, but if I try to play "Stargate Atlantis [2x10] Lost Boys (XviD asd).avi" it doesn't. I'm able to copy the file to my hard drive with gnomevfs-copy, and view the directory with gnomevfs-ls. I'm also able to play it just fine with mplayer via smb:// with the same URL. strace looks at /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstsubparse.so, and then stalls with: futex(0x83b2cfc, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL just like a handful of other gtk programs. Backtrace (after breaking out when it stalls): #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb74a4c76 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 #2 0xb61cd547 in gst_play_base_bin_get_streaminfo_value_array () from /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstplaybin.so #3 0xb61c7f21 in ??

It's a really baffling bug and rather annoying, considering so many files use this naming scheme. Let me know if I can provide any additional information. -- Totem fails to play some files through smb https://launchpad.net/bugs/26819 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
