VLC 0.9.4 crashes when attempting to read from PVR

[aegyssus]

Hi,
I configured with:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-pvr --disable-caca --disable-dbus

Then

Code: Select all

./compile

When I try to open PVR using the GUI it crashes with:

Code: Select all

[stream@feed vlc-0.9.4]$ ./vlc VLC media player 0.9.4 Grishenko [00000001] main libvlc debug: VLC media player - version 0.9.4 Grishenko - (c) 1996-2008 the VideoLAN team [00000001] main libvlc debug: libvlc was configured with ./configure '--enable-pvr' '--disable-caca' '--disable-dbus' [00000001] main libvlc debug: translation test: code is "C" [00000001] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [00000365] pvr access error: Failed to write 0 new capture card settings. Segmentation fault

If I try

Code: Select all

./vlc -I telnet -vvv --color

and then I try this in VLM:

Code: Select all

new ch1 broadcast enabled loop setup ch1 input "pvr:/dev/video0:size=512x416:norm=pal:bitrate=7000000:maxbitrate=8000000" setup ch1 output #transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=1000,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=96,channels=2,deinterlace}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:9080/ch1.asf}

It crashes with :

What's wrong? It works quite well in vlc-0.8.6i but the reason I try to use it is because I hope the bitrate will be better controlled in the new version.

Merci pour ton aide J-B!

Maybe it's worthy to mention that I am running on Fedora 9.
So, I launched VLC for VLM:

Code: Select all

./vlc -I telnet -vvv

and then I added spaces before colons:

So it says

like it does not know what's that, despite the fact I configured with --enable-pvr. /dev/video0 has full access for the group the current user belongs to.

Thanks a lot for any idea!
aegyssus

[aegyssus]

Is it possible that this issue is related to access rights? I.e. should the current user be the owner of video devices?
Thanks,
aegyssus

[aegyssus]

I think it`s not related to that: I made that user the device owner but the problem is still there.
Many thanks for any suggestion,

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

cat /dev/video > temp.mpg
vlc temp.mpg.
Does it work?

[aegyssus]

Yes, it works very nice. The capture works well.

Maybe it's important to mention that everything works without any issue with 0.8.6i. My problem is the bug that makes the stream to ignore the bitrate while transcoding. According to trac, it's been fixed in 0.9.x....
Many thanks,
aegyssus

[aegyssus]

Is this an issue specific to version 0.9.x? Anyone here is using it for streaming from IVTV cards?
I saw that LIVNA did not upgrade their packages VLC-0.9 (there are still at 0.8.6i).
Many thanks,
aegyssus

[aegyssus]

Ok, so it was all because of FFMPEG package. Given that I've used VLC-0.8.6i in the past and it was installed with yum, several ffmpeg leftovers prevented the new ffmpeg (compiled from sources) to deploy correctly. However, I saw no warning or anything from ffmpeg.
So, I cleaned old FFMPEG and vlc-core packages (yum remove) then I recompiled ffmpeg and vlc and it's now working. I still get this error

Code: Select all

pvr access error: Failed to write 0 new capture card settings

but it does not prevent the streaming to work.
Many thanks for all your help!
aegyssus

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

If it works, discard the warning

[aegyssus]

Thanks J-B!
Thanks to all the developers for all your support and for providing the community with such a miraculous streaming app!
