Bug#680557: totem: segfaults when using remote control options from command line

[David Banks]

Package: totem
Version: 3.0.1-8
Severity: normal

Totem crashes with a segmentation fault when attempting to use the remote
control options from a separate process.

To reproduce:

1.  Play any video in Totem.
2.  From another terminal, run "totem --pause".
3.  This should pause the running instance of Totem.  Instead, the running
    instance of Totem will segfault.  The instance that attempted to send the
    remote control command will receive the error below:

  GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a
  reply (timeout by message bus)

This is the same bug as the Ubuntu bug described here:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/917241>.  There is a patch
included there.  Also I have tested the version of totem in experimental and it
does not exhibit this bug.

Cheers,
David
