LuaJIT and libvlc_audio/video_set_callbacks crashing

Postby CapsAdmin » 05 May 2014 17:28

LuaJIT 2.1 and LuaJIT 2.0.3 keeps crashing when trying to use the libvlc_audio/video_set_callbacks callbacks from LuaJIT. I also crash sometimes when trying to use the log callback without calling libvlc_media_player_play(media_player).

I've tested this on latest stable and latest nightly. (32bit)

I have a feeling my Lua state and VLC's Lua state are crashing. In my Lua framework (which is kind of big) I sometimes (but rarely) get absurd Lua errors just before exit.

Here's a log from when running my test script from CMD a few times:

Other concerns:
  • I could not use "sprintf" on the log callback's va_list. I had to use _vsnprintf instead or else the buffer output would end up with random characters where the % symbols were.. (LuaJIT does not support "..." in callbacks properly so that's why you have to do that) In other libraries such as ffmpeg which also has a log callback printf works fine. As I'm typing this maybe it's because ffmpeg was compiled with mingw and vlc wasnt?
  • libvlc_media_new_path() does not convert forward slashes to backward slashes, is this intentional? for a while it had me confused as to why my file didn't exist.

It turned out this was a luajit issue.

Last I checked, Lua did not support threading. Yet VLC callbacks are invoked from different threads and asynchronously.

So I think you need native glue code in any case.
