Expected behaviour / actual behaviour

After last update it crashes when it plays certain songs. When I open it again, it tries to play the same song and crashes, so it became unusable. See this log

I have what I believe is the same issue, also on an Archlinux-based system. It appears to be a problem with the latest gstreamer package, not clementine.

I don't have debug symbols, but a GDB backtrace shows the problem might have something to do with ID3 tags:

(gdb) bt

Based on this, I opened the song in VLC and made a small metadata change, then saved the file and relaunched clementine, and the song played.

The following downgrades corrected the problem on my system:

warning: downgrading package gst-plugins-bad (1.16.0-1 => 1.14.4-8)

Whoops: Didn't notice the duplicate. Sorry.

There is a closed gstreamer issue for the problem that references an earlier issue on here. Presumably once the corresponding ArchLinux issue gets closed, an -Syu will fix the issue.
