SlugO:
Please try setting songbird.metadata.enableWriting to false in about:config instead. That will completely turn off metadata writing (not just album art).

Songbird only writes id3v2.4 metadata, but v2.3 is more common in the wild. (This is because TagLib only does 2.4).

Album art itself isn't really relevant for this.

Yeah, using the old PSDK should work (see the devmo page I linked to); MozillaBuild should support installing both SDKs side-by-side. I don't know at this point if you need any other files, sorry :(

I'm happy where ever this is, but bugzilla is probably better for the specifics on this particular problem.

Thanks for your efforts!

Ugh, that sounds like a bug on our end, since we sorta tried to make sure we can still build with free tools... (atlbase isn't in VC express, see https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Atlb...) Filed as bug 14755.

Sorry you're hitting these errors, and I really appreciate your persistence.

That sounds promising, at least. (Some TLS stuff?)

sudo chown $(whoami) prefs.js ?

Mook replied on December 08, 2008 20:40 to the problem "undefined symbol in libuniversalchardet.so on Ubuntu 8.10" in Songbird:

From my compreg.dat:
{6ee5301a-3981-49bd-85f8-1a2cc228cf3e},,application/x-mozilla-static,,nsUniversalCharDetModule

universalchardet had been rolled into libxul quite a while ago; was this an upgrade from an older version of Songbird? If yes, try deleting the whole songbird application directory (not your user data!) and re-extracting it?

Pave-over installs are not supported. And libuniversalchardet.so doesn't exist in the tarball I just grabbed.

Are you on Linux, and if yes, did you run Songbird as root via sudo? Make sure you have write access to ~/.songbird2/*.default/prefs.js (or, for Windows, C:\Documents and Settings\<name>\Application Data\Songbird2\Profiles\*.default\prefs.js or C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Songbird2\Profiles\*.default\prefs.js, and on Mac, ~/Library/Application Support/Songbird2/*.default/prefs.js)</name></name>

Bah, I wanted to see if there were any dlls that were bumping msys out of the way, but now I see that the mingw list had you try rebasing it.

(It shouldn't be 4 000 lines long, since I only wanted the dlls being loaded by the crashing process - csrss, for example, should not have shown up :( )

Mook replied on December 05, 2008 02:21 to the question "Unable to build on win32 following directions on website" in Songbird:

(Read the mingw list too, I see that you tried using cygwin too. That actually used to work, but nobody's tried building Songbird with that for a while.)

I don't suppose you know how to get a list of the DLLs loaded at the time of crash with their base addresses? (I have no idea how to do that; the mingw user list might, starting from the stackdump?) That would help in figuring out if anybody is taking up the space it expects.

No, you don't need gcc (we don't build with gcc on win32 anyway). I'm kinda running out of ideas :( Maybe check autoruns (sysinternals) to see if anything's obviously hooking things?

Oops, sorry, I lost track of this.
