VLC 2.0.1 Crashes on Streaming HTTP & Transcoding

[jkinneberg]

Trying to get VLC to stream my desktop to a HTTP stream so I can then put that HTTP stream into TVersity and play it on my DLNA/Samsung TV.

Challenge is VLC crashes whenever I try to create a stream.
-This happened on VLC 1.x
-Installed VLC 2.0.1 yesterday it still happens
-Uninstalled All in One Codec Pack
-Installed K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega edition without the players but with all the codecs)

It still crashese after this.

Installed Microsoft Debug Diag x64 on Windows 7 x64 bit SP1 with all the latest patches. Ran the debugger 3 times but it does not always crash with the same function running. This maybe because the first crash dump I only ran the Microsoft Debug Diag x64, and on the second two I rang the Microsoft Debug Diag and the Microsoft Application Verifyer x64.

This is what I am doing to turn on desktop streaming: when it crashese
Furthermore if I go in VLC.EXE -> Media (menu) -> Stream (selection) -> Capture Device (tab) -> Capture Mode (Dropdownbox) "Desktop" (selection) -> Desire frame rate (textbox) "28.00" (input) -> Stream (button) -> Destination Setup (bar) -> New Destintation (dropdownbox) "HTTP" -> Add (button) -> Activate Transcoding (checkbox) "checked/on" -> Video (dropdownbox) "H.264 + AAC (MP4)"

If I do this then it does not crash: If I turn off transcoding
Furthermore if I go in VLC.EXE -> Media (menu) -> Stream (selection) -> Capture Device (tab) -> Capture Mode (Dropdownbox) "Desktop" (selection) -> Desire frame rate (textbox) "28.00" (input) -> Stream (button) -> Destination Setup (bar) -> New Destintation (dropdownbox) "HTTP" -> Add (button) -> Activate Transcoding (checkbox) "not check/off" -> Video (dropdownbox) "H.264 + AAC (MP4)"

Adding the notes from the Microsoft Debug Crash Dumps:

[jkinneberg]

Here are the crash dumps for the first crashes.

No Longer True.
Any combination of stream output FILE or HTTP etc, with any codec crashes.

[VLC_help]

Windows Crash dumps are useless. Only GDB ones with VLC debug versions are useful.

And you can't stream your desktop live with x264 if you have resolutions bigger than 1024x768, it will just require too much CPU time. (but it shouldn't crash)

And codec packs have no effect to VLC, since VLC doesn't use those.

I am able to reproduce this 100% of the time on Windows 7 64bit running the 32bit version of VLC 2.0.1.
Any attempt to transcode to x264 (HTTP, File, rtp) from every source I tested (directshow, file) causes an instant crash.

The only solution that I found is to use VLC 1.1.9.

Here is a sample command that causes an immediate crash:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe -vvv dshow:// :dshow-vdev="AmaRec Video Capture" :dshow-adev="AmaRec Audio Capture" :live-caching=300 --sout #transcode{vcodec=x264,venc=x264{preset=veryfast},vb=1500,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:rtp{dst=192.168.2.15,port=1234,mux=ts} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep

[VLC_help]

H.264 encoding should be fixed in next release.
