I am getting this issue when the buffering happens for second time during RTSP playback. There are no decoding errors from ffmpeg. I think there is some corruption in display buffer.

Can some one give some details? This issue is there since long time.

I am observing video corruption at the beginning(after 1-2secs of video) when I play any rtsp live video. I suspect this is something to do with buffering. How can this issue be fixed. I have observed the issue in 2.1.x builds and it is also seen in 3.x build also.

Thanks Jean for a quick reply.

Sorry guys for asking about vlc 1.1.11 even though 2.1.x version is available. I am specifically relying on this version of vlc since it is bit more stable and our application runs smoothly with vlc 1.1.11. I am getting a white screen issue when I play rtsp HD (resolution >= 720P) stream on some 64b...

Hi, There was a video stuttering issue(old frame getting played again) in rtsp playback in older vlc versions like 1.1.11. This issue is not seen in recent vlc versions like 2.0.7. Could any one let me know if it is possible to back port the changes to vlc 1.1.11? I tried to locate the changes added...

Hi All, I am using vlc browser plugin for rtsp playback of IP camera playback. The requirement is for continuous playback of content for long run. Is it possible to reconnect or restart playback under some error condition? I would like restart the complete playback(including the input connection - R...

Thanks JB. I tried to download vlc code(including contrib/src) from https://github.com/videolan/vlc/. But I could able to get only the latest code and not the one rwquired for vlc 1.1.11 compilation. Could you please share the document link which has the compilation instructions?

Hi, Is there any specific procedure to compile ffmpeg(version 0.7.15) to make it work with vlc 1.1.11 on windows? I compiled ffmpeg(on windows using MinGW32) but I could not able to make it work with vlc. The vlc did not start at all. Can some one point me the procedure to compile ffmpeg for vlc? Do...

Thanks for the info JB. I can't use VLC 2.0.7 due to some stability related issues. I need to use more stable 1.1.11 version which is already tested in our setup. Can this be fixed by modifying the direct3d.c file or any other VLC files? Are there any Nvidia specific direct3d fixes in VLC 2.0.7 whic...

Hi, I am getting following crash in NVIDIA graphics driver. I am using vlc 1.1.11 version. crash is happening in HRESULT hr = IDirect3DSurface9_LockRect(picture->p_sys->surface, &d3drect, NULL, 0); in static int Direct3DLockSurface(picture_t *picture) function. Following is the crash log. 0x12da...

The crash is happening while rtsp vlc playback from IE browser plugin. It is not consistent crash. I will check the scenario and file a bug.

Hi, We are not taking care of malloc failures in block_New calls. Like following portion of code in streamread() in if( tk->fmt.i_codec == VLC_CODEC_H264 ) { if( (tk->p_buffer[0] & 0x1f) >= 24 ) msg_Warn( p_demux, "unsupported NAL type for H264" ); /* Normal NAL type */ p_block = block...

Thanks JB. Is it possible to display the fullscreen window only on top the browser from where it is opened instead of making it on top of all the windows/applications that are currently available? Older vlc fullscreen implementation(Vlc 1.0.3) takes care of this issue.

Hi,

Is the above rule(need to publish the modified source code to users) is applicable to all organizations(Including non-profit or profit making)? We would like to change the vlc logo and the vlc player name to something else. Is this legally valid?

Hi, VLC uses HWND_TOPMOST in SetWindowPos(_FSWnd->getHWND(), HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN), 0/** /SWP_NOZORDER/**/); Due to this the full screen window is created on top of all windows. We will not be able to go to any application unless we come bac...

Hi, I would like to run 2 different versions of vlc(version 1.1.11 and 2.0.2) in a windows desktop. What all changes are needs to be done for it to work on web browsers simultaneously. I am using self compiled version of vlc 1.1.11. I modified following code 1. changed CLSID_VLCPlugin{} in projects/...

I don't have any patch as of now. I was getting these errors because of which I raised this query. If I have a patch I will share with you guys.

Hi JB, Following are my observations. After getting the error(E_INVALIDARG or D3DERR_DEVICELOST) the subsequent calls to direct3d/directx creation/setup fails and the browser doesn't behave properly. IDirect3DDevice9_Present fails with error E_INVALIDARG(HRESULT=0x80070057) or D3DERR_DEVICELOST(hr =...

Hi, Why we are not handling D3DERR_DEVICELOST error in direct3d.c. Is there any specific reason for this? According to MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb174714(v=vs.85).aspx ) we should reset the direct3d device if get D3DERR_DEVICELOST error from IDirect3DDevice9_Test...

I modified the DirectXCloseWindow() by following way. DestroyWindow( p_event->hfswnd ); DestroyWindow( p_event->hwnd ); where as the original code was DestroyWindow( p_event->hwnd ); DestroyWindow( p_event->hfswnd ); After this I am not observing the freeze issue. But after running the sequence(play...

JB, Do you have any clue about this issue? Is there any workaround to come out of the freeze?

My web based application plays only rtsp. I tried to simulate same scenario for http playback using the test.html file provided. But I could not reproduce the issue after trying next->next for more than 30 minutes. This issue is seen after 30 mins to 1 hour of playback of rtsp content.

Hi, IDirect3DDevice9_Present() fails with hr = 0x88760868 after doing play/stop sequence for long time. After receiving this error the next play() command fails with following error in IDirect3D9_GetDeviceCaps() . direct3d error: Could not read adapter capabilities. (hr=0x8876086A) This error contin...

I renamed the extension of the file to mov from avi. But the end result was same and I could not able to hear the audio. I can provide the content for this issue.

Hi JB, I will be happy to provide help/patch to fix the issue. I did some more analysis and found that WM_NCDESTROY event is not received after calling DestroyWindow( p_event->hwnd ); . The last event that is getting received is WM_DESTROY. I think this is the reason which causes the freeze. Followi...
