** Description changed: On an Oneiric i386 system with vlc 1.1.11-2build2, I attempted to play an MKV video file which I believe is broken. The file was full size and was not obtained (at least not directly) by bittorrent or a similar protocol, but it always failed to seek past a certain point, both in VLC and in GNOME MPlayer. The failure to seek never caused a crash. However, when I played the video from the very beginning and allowed it to reach this point, VLC crashed with SIGABRT, I presume from an unhandled C++ exception. I play other MKV files regularly and I have never experienced this problem. I am reluctant to post the video file for copyright reasons, and in any case it is 950,861,646 bytes large. However, if it would be useful, I would be willing to attempt to create a new video file containing isolated data representing several seconds of video surrounding the point where the crash is triggered, and submit that. - I think this is the same as bug 792012, but that bug is Expired and it - does not appear that the requested data will be forthcoming (perhaps for - reasons similar to the reasons I am unwilling to post my 900+ MB - potentially copyright-encumbered video file in full), so I'm reporting - this as a new bug. If the stack traces match up sufficiently, I'll mark - them as duplicates (I'll probably mark that bug a duplicate of this one, - since that bug's stack trace is incomplete and there is no attached - CoreDump.gz, and since I think it's likely that I may be able to create - a short video file suitable for attaching publicly as a sample, to - produce the crash as it occurs on my machine, if doing so is judged by - others to be necessary or particularly useful). + UPDATE: Comparison of the description and symbolic retrace here to the + description and stack trace in bug 792012 (which is Expired because the + original reporter did not provide a sample file, perhaps for similar + reasons to why I am not providing the full 900+ MB potentially + copyright-encumbered file here) indicates that they are the same bug. I + have marked bug 792012 as a duplicate of this bug instead of the other + way around because this bug now has a complete symbolic stack trace, and + since I may be more able to provide a sample file for developers if + requested. I am marking this bug Confirmed on account of bug 792012.
