File > Add Folder > Segfault (fresh installation)

[ghost]

Steps to reproduce the problem

File > Add Folder > Select ~/Music > Click OK > Segfault

What's going on? Describe the problem in as much detail as possible.

I just installed deadbeef and launched it for the very first time. The first thing I did was go to File > Add Folder to load up some music. Deadbeef crashes after I choose my folder.

Information about the software:

Deadbeef version: Tested 1.9.2 & devel OS: EndeavourOS (Budgie desktop)

Does it crash as well if you select some smaller folders / individual albums?

Does it crash as well if you select some smaller folders / individual albums?

It's not a big folder, I had 5 albums in it.. with 5 folders and a handful of subfolders. They are FLAC files that I ripped myself from CD with rubyripper.

I just figured out what caused it... deadbeef didn't like one of my .cue files. Audacious complained about the same file, but it gave me an error instead of crashing, so I was able to identify and remove the problematic file. Unfortunately, since I removed the offending .cue file, I can't provide it as a test sample

Nonetheless, deadbeef should gracefully handle corrupt (I assume??) cue files instead of crashing.. that's definitely what caused the issue. If you manually corrupt a cue file, I assume you will experience the same crash.

[Oleksiy-Yakovenko]

Can you perhaps share the cue file in question? This would help to reproduce the crash, to know what is happening. Or describe a way to corrupt the cue file, to make the problem occur?

[ghost]

I edited my post a couple times so maybe you didn't see, but unfortunately I already removed the cue file. You should be able to repro with a manually corrupted cue file. Regardless, there should be blanket exception handling for unreadable cue files so deadbeef doesn't crash if it finds one

Sorry that I can't provide the file!

[ghost]

Wait! I might still have a copy...... I rip these CDs from an old laptop with a DVD drive, and I usually don't delete the rips. Stay tuned, I'll see if I still have it

💻 🏃‍♂️

[ghost]

Got it!! 👏

Here you go.. this is a 100% reproducible crash on my end. I had to tar it, github won't allow cue files

deadbeef-crashy-cue-file.tar.gz

[Oleksiy-Yakovenko]

oh great, I'll try it as soon as I can! thanks!

[Oleksiy-Yakovenko]

Should work now (I mean, it will ignore this cuesheet with an error message).

[ghost]

Recompiled and working great. Thank you for the quick fix.
