That build fixes my problem with libass freeze. Bug with that can be closed.
Can you wait a newer build I am going to throw?

Streaming H.264 + AAC still crashes VLC :( I thought I read somewhere that 1.0.0 will have it fixed. Was I wrong or this did not apply to 1.0.0-dev build yet?

It's back to 0.8.6i for me then until this bug is finally gone...
Sample?
I'm streaming LIVE TV using VLM script, so I don't think I can provide a sample. I also tried the same using user interface instead of VLM, and that still crashed it.

Below is a sample VLM code for one channel that I use for streaming H.264 + AAC @ 300kbit/s, which works perfectly fine with 0.8.6i:

Code: Select all

new vlc45 broadcast enabled setup vlc45 input "dshow://" setup vlc45 option dshow-vdev="Conexant Capture" setup vlc45 option dshow-adev="SoundMAX HD Audio" setup vlc45 option dshow-size="320x240" setup vlc45 option dshow-caching=200 setup vlc45 option dshow-chroma="YUY2" setup vlc45 option dshow-fps=00.000000 setup vlc45 option no-dshow-config setup vlc45 option no-dshow-tuner setup vlc45 option dshow-tuner-channel=45 setup vlc45 option dshow-tuner-country=0 setup vlc45 option dshow-tuner-input=1 setup vlc45 option dshow-video-input=-1 setup vlc45 option dshow-audio-input=-1 setup vlc45 option dshow-video-output=-1 setup vlc45 option dshow-audio-output=-1 setup vlc45 output #transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=268,deinterlace,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=32,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.0.106:8080}}
This is the log I saved after attempt to stream through VLM:

I tried modifying VLM script to this...

Code: Select all

#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=268,deinterlace,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,dst=192.168.0.106:8080}}
... and it still crashed :( Transcoding without audio through user interface also crashed VLC.

try mp4v
Hmm, this is getting interesting, because I modified original VLM script to transcode in mp4v and it crashed as well...

EDIT:OK, so now I'm trying to go step by step, and VLC can't even use my capture devices - "VLC cannot use the device, because its type is not supported.". What a...? :) If I use a file as a source I can transcode to anything but H.264 + AAC, though...

EDIT2: So, I removed 1.0.0 and installed 0.9.8a. No problem opening capture devices, just like with 0.8.6i. I guess that makes it another bug to fix in 1.0.0...

i'm sorry but i'm new here so i did not know about the non release development issue.
but what i highlighted was just to inform that there are still several bugs that could be fixed before the 1.0 release.

like what i said. it crashed if you force it to jump or play back to much and when this happens we must kill the task even thou you cant see the vlc GUI running at the foreground windows.
So https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2450 this is what you mean by force it to jump ??? If not it crashes then you shouldn't have to kill the vlc.exe since it would have turned into a Werfault.exe (if you're on vista) Then again you make no sense at what you said, "play back to much" ???

sorry but what i meant was that vlc will crash if you hover the time line bar around too much.. for example you want to get from point A to point B in a movie you have 2 options to do it 1 is to simply use the mouse and click on the time line bar and the other is using the shortcut keys to jump for example Shift + Left or right arrow keys [or what ever that you have assigned it to].
now the issue is that even if you use both mathord vlc still attend to crash if forced to much and no i have never seen this "Werfault.exe" ever come up in my task manager.

I'm randomly getting this error message from time to time when I'm opening the Codec Information window:

Image

It has no effect on the playback but VLC always crashes on exit when this error message has been shown.
It seems to happen with both video and audio only files. I can't find a way to reproduce it in every case, for now.

I've already done that many times and on each installation of a new v1.0.0 build but I got the error message with every v1.0.0 build. Randomly.

That build fixes my problem with libass freeze. Bug with that can be closed.
Can you wait a newer build I am going to throw?
I can test it again as soon as your build is ready and I know where to find it.

The following DLL's are missing in tonight build (7zip archive):

libaccess_filter_bandwidth_plugin.dll
libaccess_filter_dump_plugin.dll
libid3tag_plugin.dll

I don't know if it's done on purpose or not because there are no new DLL's which could replace these ones...

Tested that and it seems that freeze is gone. VLC starts a bit slowly (maybe 10 secs) when started first time after computer reboot, but after that everything opens in seconds. Very good work, I am impressed.

This is the normal way. Thanks for the report.

Some thoughts about this build:

It still freezes when trying to open a Matroska file which is located in a folder that contains many other Matroska files. Even though the file I'm trying to play doesn't contain any subtitles at all it still freezes.

When downmixed to stereo, the channel mapping of E-AC-3 5.1 and 7.1 is wrong. At least it was working fine with E-AC-3 5.1 in previous build when played from a MKA container. It still doesn't work when the E-AC-3 streams are demuxed out of the container (no sound) but now the time duration shown for the E-AC-3 7.1 file is wrong.
Since I don't have a real 5.1 nor a 7.1 system for testing the full channel mapping I can't tell much about this issue. The regular AC-3 stream is playing fine though when downmixed to stereo but actually the E-AC-3 5.1 is a regression from build 20090218.

M2TS files are not showing any time duration.
This is having a side effect: you can't load an external subtitle file when playing an M2TS file. Tested with SRT (time based) files and SUB (image based) files.

The new converter GUI is really nice :)
However it doesn't work. The source file selected doesn't appear in the source box of the converter and if you keep going on (select a destination file and a format) then VLC simply plays the file but no conversion is done at all.

Too much useless posts on the forum, but I'll answer yours.

Previous build was broken and solved the bug luckily for you... Fill a bug.

M2TS are not showing any time, this is know and expected.

The new converters is not supposed to work yet.

ok, not really a bug report but I have to tell this:

I`m using Windows Server 2008 as a workplace and the dev-build is doing its job! the improvement with the changing/arrangement of buttons from the default gui (via view>customize interface...) is a great feature! I love it.

want to say thank you and keep up the good work! :)

Does this log gives any indication where problem might be?

I think it is a bug in rtsp/live555.

vlc-1.0.0-git-20090314-2305-win32 and vlc-1.0.0-git-20090316-2305-win32 nightly builds crash when trying to play a Windows Media file (*.WMA, *.WMV) which contains Windows Media Audio. Same goes for MMS streams using Windows Media Audio. Playing a WMV video which doesn't have any audio works with these test versions.

Reverting back to vlc-1.0.0-git-win32-20090303 (JB's build) solved the problem.
