JVLC crashes

Postby quorthon » 03 Apr 2009 15:19

Hy

I've the following error in my jvlc-java player:
- when I get a video-stream and display it, all works fine until the end of the stream, then the player crashes:

VLC is generating an exception, and JVLC is not handling it.

VLC is generating an exception, and JVLC is not handling it.
thanks for your answer...hm and how can I handle it, that this exception isn't raised anymore? Or how can I handle this exception?

Why is VLC actually generating this exception? When I start the vlc-client directly (not via jvlc) and consumes the stream, at the end of the stream, when I stopping it or when I pause the stream for about 10 seconds on the streaming server, the vlc-client just switches to the starting state (no video loaded) and raises no exception...

Thanks for your help.

I can't really help with your particular question, but there's a couple of things that helped me on the Java side when I was chasing down JVM failures caused by native library errors and it may help you in some small way...

First is I wrapped the Java libvlc object instance with a Java dynamic proxy (or an AOP library could be used if you know AOP) to log all of the method invocations (method names, parameters and return values) that went through the libvlc object. You basically wrap LibVlc.SYNC_INSTANCE with the dynamic proxy.

I then spotted in the log that I was passing a null rather than an object instance to one of the libvlc methods and that was causing a failure in libvlc which in turn killed my JVM. The null reference in the native library kills the process without the Java side ever seeing an Exception object.

Second is that I've had JVM exits due to deadlocks caused by threading and event callbacks - so I just had to make sure that all my libvlc interactions were called on a different thread to the event callback. Again, the process just gets killed and you never see a Java Exception.

But I've abandoned JVLC now and use my own simplified bindings. I don't see any JVM failures any more and I can play movie after movie with stops/starts/pauses/navigation and so on.

I don't use JVLC but it looks like the native media player is still trying to render video to the Java Canvas after the Canvas has been disposed. Make sure you stop the media player before you exit the application. If it's not that, I have no idea.

VLC is trying to render to a window that does not exist (anymore). You have most probably destroyed the VLC video window before you stopped playback. This wouldn't work in the old and unsupported 1.0.x and earlier VLC versions based on Xlib. More recent VLC, based on XCB, will just detect an error and fail safe (stop rendering).
