Description Antoine 2007-11-24 18:23:49 CET
Distribution: Gentoo
Music Playback OK
Video Playback: Crash

This is the report:
The program 'xfmedia' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 170 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Gxine can read my video!

Only play audio. Crash when play video the same error.
Comment 2 Sasha Medvedev 2009-05-01 08:45:45 CEST
I resolve this problem and other video relayted from bugs.xfce.org by changing -O2 optimization level to -O0 in CFLAGS.
Comment 3 lumbrius 2009-05-31 13:26:19 CEST
I confirm on gentoo. Compiling with -O0 doesn't help.
Playing same video in gxine is ok.
