VLC Spin if folder moved

Postby BlahUser » 22 Aug 2011 13:11

Hello,

I have found I can cause VLC to lock up if I play a looped AVI file, and move the folder it is contained in. I am using opensuse 11.3.

Code: Select all

me@mypc~> vlc --version VLC media player 1.1.10 The Luggage (revision exported) VLC version 1.1.10 The Luggage (exported) Compiled by the Packman team -- http://packman.links2linux.org This program comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. You may redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence; see the file named COPYING for details. Written by the VideoLAN team; see the AUTHORS file. me@mypc~> rpm -q vlc vlc-1.1.10-1.pm.4.2.x86_64
Steps to reproduce.

Create AVI file from PNG sequence using FFMPEG command:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i images-%4d.png -sameq images.avi me@mypc~/tmp>file images.avi images.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 790 x 463, video: me@mypc~/tmp>vlc images..avi
Start playing the video, then pause it and select "loop"

(opens another terminal)

Code: Select all

me@mypc~> mv tmp tmp2
(go back to other terminal)
When the video loops, it spits out (continuously), and uses 200% CPU (2x100%):

Code: Select all

libdvdnav: vm: failed to open/read the DVD libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 4.1.3 libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. libdvdread: Can't stat /home/me/tmp/tmp.avi
until I kill it.

This happens every time.
