Comment (by Disreali):
As mentioned, my system has several audio issues including random crashes
of media_addon_server during shutdown or any other time, needing to
restart the Media Services several times in order to get sound at all,
late buffers, and various other audio interrupt overruns. They all are
tracked in other tickets, but could contributing factors in this issue
with Screenshot.
Now to your questions.
Replying to [comment:1 Wim]:
> When the Media prefs hangs, can you launch other applications, or is
this specific to Screenshot?[[BR]]
It seems specific to Screenshot. So far, Screenshot is the only app that
fails to launch when the Media preflet hangs/freezes. [[BR]]
> Does the Media prefs always hang after you restart the Media
services?[[BR]]
No, it depends on the day, phase of the moon, whether a butterfly flaps
its wings, etc.[[BR]]
Sorry. So far, it _seems_ to be completely random. Though, to be honest,
I have got into the habit of restarting the MediaService at least twice
after media related crashes. I would have to do more testing to give you
a better answer. But then, the media_addon_server crashing also seems to
be random too.[[BR]]
> Does the Media prefs hang on a system without the sound issues you
mention, or is this problem specific to your situation?[[BR]]
That I really can't answer. AFAIK, the issue of the Media preflet
freezing seems to be something only I have noticed. it may be specific to
my hardware.
This system is an Acer AM5620 Desktop. The listdev, listusb, and sysinfo
for this system can be found on ticket:5904. I've uploaded the same files
to many tickets, so I'm just giving the link to one that has all of them.
If really you want, I will attach them to this ticket also.
Tickets that _may_ be useful are ticket:5339 and ticket:5863. They deal
with media_addon_server crashing.
Thank your for any help you may provide.
