So the upstream totem-pl-parser bug (not catching max open files exceeded) you need is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583473 > > (and some proof that totem-pl-parser is leaking descriptors...). For clarity, rhythmbox is obviously responsible for the exceeded max open descriptors and I don't think that is directly the fault of totem-pl-parser. The problem with totem-pl-parser is that you wind up receiving an ambiguous mime error that has nothing to do with the actual problem, which is that the max open fds was exceeded. I've also filed upstream rhythmbox bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583476 Maybe if I have some time on a weekend I'll try to fix the bug - it's unfortunately increasingly difficult for a 'non-GNOME' person to keep up with all the goings on there...perhaps you need a podcast? ;) Jon. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
