hrev46154 and r20130926_a5d9833 (from here: http://www.haiku-files.org/unsupported-builds/package-management-preview/ )

With Haiku PM, I experience issues while i attempt to open media files (any kind of format) using MediaPlayer. I always got this error:

The file 'any kind of media file' could not be opened.

Error: General system error.

This issue always happened. Since Haiku PM i'm no longer able to play any media files using MediaPlayer.

Instead, all is fine with VLC and Mplayer. And MediaPlayer works fine with older nightlies (without PM).

Summary: Error while opening media files and media_addon_server crashes on reboot/shutdownError while opening media files

First of all: Please don't report multiple issues in a single ticket. That just makes it more complicated to track them. I'm removing the mention of the media add-on server crash here. The same issue is already tracked in #5863. Feel free to add your debug report there.

Regarding the MediaPlayer issue, you might want to add or refer to a file that doesn't work. I usually play mp3's when on Haiku and there hasn't been any issue with those.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
