libvlc_media_player_* hangs
Posted: 24 Aug 2009 10:31
Hello! I have the following situation. I play multicast UDP stream with libvlc. Then suddenly playback stops, and when I try to access any of the functions libvlc_media_player_*, they all hang altogether with my GUI. It only occurs on two specific streams, both are HD-quality. The thing is I cannot debug VLC. I've tried to build "debug devel" flavour, tried "--disable-optimizations" (or like, when `vlc-config --cflags` outputs -O0). Effects is the same -- gdb just skips over vlc calls... Using tests and trials methods, I was able to determine, that hang occurs in release_input_thread, and inside it on vlc_thread_join just after the input_Stop call. It seems, somewhere in VLC a deadlock occurs. When the stream hangs still, the VLC log has the following messages:
And just after that, the libvlc_media_player_set_media call hangs, and the following messages occur:
And that's it. I hope somebody will help me with this, for this is really bad. The bad thing I can't get my hands on vlc internals with GDB, I think I miss some option to GCC, that is vital for GDB to debug DLLs...
My system is MinGW-3.4.5, WindowsXP, GDB 6.8.
