Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

please link this to my previous bug report (Bug 334519) that i have been advised to raise a new one.

i have updated my system less than 1 hr ago using the update manager and it says that my system is up to date, so all packages are up to date as of now while posting this bug.

the .mkv files work with mplayer and vlc just not in totem.

also i have uploaded a sample file online at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/terry.gardener/test.mkv

i am still getting exactly the same issue and after reading the forums i am not the only one.

description from previous bug report
unable to play .mkv files they are crashing totem. nautilus crashes when
i try to access the properties of the file.

i have posted my problem here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1078269

it works in VLC and mplayer but not totem.

codecs of the video file (info from vlc)
video = avc1
audio = mpga

i have also looked at syslogs and it says the following

terry-desktop kernel: [ 68.576720] totem[4085]: segfault at ab36000 ip b7105377 sp b310a828 error 6 in libc-2.9.so[b708c000+15c000]

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

libxrandr2: installed version 2:1.2.99.4-1, latest version: 2:1.2.99.4-2
libpam-runtime: installed version 1.0.1-5ubuntu1, latest version: 1.0.1-5ubuntu2
libcups2: installed version 1.3.9-14ubuntu1, latest version: 1.3.9-14ubuntu2
libpam0g: installed version 1.0.1-5ubuntu1, latest version: 1.0.1-5ubuntu2
libpam-modules: installed version 1.0.1-5ubuntu1, latest version: 1.0.1-5ubuntu2
liblaunchpad-integration1: installed version 0.1.22, latest version: 0.1.23
libtheora0: installed version 1.0~beta3-1, latest version: 1.0-2

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

sorry to reopen this bug but if i raise another bug report then with the pace that ubuntu jaunty is getting updated than i is going to be out of date when the you look at it.

i have made sure the packages mentions above are update to date and then retried and get the same problem.

i have done a backtrace and also valgrind as it is segmentation fault. see attachments
