XMMS crashes when I try to play MPC files

Pong · 03-15-2004, 06:07 PM

I have installed xmms-musepack (yarrow.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=709), but whenever I try to play a .mpc file, xmms disappears/crashes.

What could be the problem?

Try opening xmms in a konsole or terminal window, and see if it will give any error messages when it crashes.

It says:

Code:

Segmentation fault

You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit
http://bugs.xmms.org and fill out a bug report.

But since this is a plugin bug, I can't report it there... Did anyone have this problem before?

Mabe try to install another plugin that supports .MPC
What version of xmms and xmms-musepack are you running? mabe that version of plugin doesn't support the version of xmms your running. or you might have other plugins enable thats making it crash.

XMMS = 1.2.8
musepack = version: 0.94 / release: 2.fr (link)

The only plugins I have installed are:
- support for MP3
- XMMS mp3cue plugin
- musepack

Never had any problems, except now, with mpc files...

I have upgraded XMMS to v.1.2.10, but the problem remains... it still crashes when I try to play a .mpc file.

Same problem here with xmms-1.2.10 and xmms-musepack-0.94. Upgrading xmms-musepack to the 0.98 version (gentoo's 0.98-r2 version to be precise) solved the problem. Try upgrading your musepack package.

Just a note to let all know that this problem still exists on FC5 as of this date (BTW I run yum update on a weekly basis).

This can occur at any time and is a pain as I have no trouble with other formats.

Does anyone know of a mpc to mp3 convertor that runs under FC5? Audio-convert looks great and installs fine but chokes when it sees you want to convert a mpc file claiming you need to install musepack-tools - try googling that - sigh

Well I cant help because I cant get XMMS to work for me.....

Tells me I need glib-x.x.x or better and I installed it.
And gtk, Ciaro, ATK and blah blah blah....
Still doesnt work.

Hi russelldude_2004

You are a little off the topic but assuming you are running FC5 I suggest running as superuser:

yum remove xmms*

followed by

yum install xmms* --exclude=xmms-normalize

xmms-normalize is'nt signed currently hence the exclude. This should sort out all the dependency issues and give you a clean xmms install with all the bells & whistles. Depending how up to date your FC5 is this could take a while.
