V4L2 to mp4 file. Stop button crashes VLC. mp4 unreadable.

Postby simonb » 27 Oct 2008 11:51

I am running VLC 0.9.5 on Mandriva 2008 x64.

I run the following command line to capture live sound and video and save to disk as an mp4 file. When I press the "Stop" button I get a crash. The mp4 file is then useless since the moov atom was never written to it. So I'm stuck.

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv v4l2:// :v4l2-dev="/dev/video0" :v4l2-input=1 :v4l2-io=1 :v4l2-width=720 :v4l2-height=576 :v4l2-adev="hw:0,0" :v4l2-audio-method=3 :v4l2-stereo :v4l2-samplerate=44100 :v4l2-tuner=0: v4l2-tuner-audio-mode=1 :v4l2-controls-reset :v4l2-auto-white-balance=1 :v4l2-autogain=1 :no-v4l2-audio-mute --v4l2-set-ctrls='{chroma agc=1,combfilter=1}' --sout '#duplicate{dst="transcode{threads=4,width=640,height=480,venc=x264,fps=25,vcodec=x264,vb=300,audio-sync,deinterlace=linear,acodec=mp4a,ab=96,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file, mux=mp4, dst=/home/simonb/Temp/test.mp4} }"}' --sout-x264-ref=5
The redundant stream "duplicate" statements are because this is a cut-down version of the command line I am actually using which is splitting the stream into various rtp and file outputs at different bitrates.

Here is the stack trace after pressing the stop button for the affected thread.

The line in transcode.c that it crashes on is indicated below...
