 |
|
Hi Gentooers,
I have a problem, on my desktop as well as on my notebook:
KDE, Konqueror File Manager:
When I move the mouse over a MPEG file konqueror crashes.
It tries to load the preview of the file. So I thought I have to re-emerge mpeglib, but that does not help...
Anyone has a solution for this?

The same for me here with an AMD dual core 64 bit on a fresh install.

Hi
I did a check by installing on another partition Archlinux [64bit version].
There, Konqueror does not crash when moving the mouse over any mpeg files , it is the 3.5.5 kde version.

Works for me, KDE 3.5.5 on 32 bit system.
Konqueror generates a picture in a pop-up box for certain mpeg movies, specifically those that it registers as such with size/time information generated.
I have some mpegs that konqueror does not list time/size/length info for, and most of these konqueror does not generate an image for as well.
Troubleshooting suggestions:
Try getting some different mpegs, specifically some that konqueror displays info for, and some for which it doesn't.
Does konqueror crash for both types?
Can you play the mpegs in a KDE player? (Kaboodle?)
Try going into konqueror settings->Previews and Meta Data, and deselect "file" under "local protocols". This turns of the generated image associated with movie files. Let us know if this works as a temporary fix or not. |

Hi
I made it worked finally....or let's say half worked.
| Code: | Settings >> Configure Konqueror >> File Association >> Video
- Left Click >> Show file in embedded viewer
- mpeg >> Embedding >> Use settings for 'video' group. |
But it works just for one user...For the other one, it still carshes [with the same settings].
The setting were originally the same for both users...
By the way, if you are quite quick, you can watch your files by right-clicking.
You need to be really quick...
EDIT: Xeinsane, you are right. Unclicking file in the local protocal makes it work.
Thank you for your help.

Wow, the first time that I find other users with crashing Konqueror while mouse over a mpeg-file!
I thought I was the only one. 
For me it seems the update to KDE 3.5.6 solved the problem, at least it hasn't crashed yet. |
