2.1.0 CRASHES when HW Decoding Acceleration is Enabled

[xing2]

I have installed the new VLC 2.1.0 right now and I found a very big bug: VLC crashes with a lot of videos, when Hardware Decoding Acceleration is Enabled (DXVA 2.0 or Automatic)

Sporadic crashes occurred also in the previous build 2.0.8 with some videos.

[anuswara]

Hi,
I have no crash but a bad experience, artefacts.

hw acceleration on (gtx650, NO issues with the same files on other software!)
1080p video : very fine.
1080i50 videos (deinterlace: auto> linear): very bad, jumpiness. I have to turn the hw acce off.
ok with progressive, bad with interlaced content.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

I will look at it.

[Valkyr09]

Hi,

Thanks for looking into the crashes.I am having the same problems but only with avi videos. VLC would crash if I enable Hw acceleration but work perfectly when disabled. Hw acceleration works fine on mp4 videos however.
I use VLC 64 bit on Windows 8 with Geforce GT 630M and Intel integrated video HD Graphics i4500.

I would like to submit a crash dump report if needed. Let me know if you require this.

Thanks

[lobster]

I see the same. VLC keeps crashing. It seems to be tied to hardware acceleration. Win7/64bit/HD4000.

To everyone on this thread:

• What is your GPU
• Can you try with VLC 2.1.0 32bits version?
• DOes it happen in all file formats? Or just in mp4/mkv/avi?

[adamp]

I´ve got the same Problem.

1x Ivy Bridge 3770 / intel HD4000
1x Core2Duo P8600 with Intel Express 4 Mobile Chipset (GMA 45)

2.10 32 Bit HW Accelration on = Crash

It only occurs with divx files (*.divx / *.avi (Container))

2.08 runs fine.

[lobster]

VLC is 32bit, GPU is HD4000.

avi crashes every time. Other formats only does it sometimes.

[Ajaja]

Windows 7, GTX 650. 32bit VLC 2.1.0 crashes too. Looks like crashes only with XVID/DIVX other SP/ASP mpeg4.

BTW. Latest VLC 2.2.0 nightly works fine with dxva2 activated.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Cool. I'll post a fix build to test soon.

[Schnuffel]

i have the same prob

with some mp4 and avi files (not with all)
vlc crashes with hw acceleration enabled

w7 64 bit
radeon hd7850 (catalyst 13.9)

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

i have the same prob

w7 64 bit

What codec?

[Schnuffel]

Codec: MPEG-4 Video (XVID)
Codec: MPEG-4 Video (DX50)
and
Codec: MPEG-4 Video (mp4v)


seems all avi files causing a crash

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

OK. I will fix for 2.1.1

Try this: http://people.videolan.org/~jb/vlc-2.1.1-win32.exe

[adamp]

This version also crashes.

DIVX/AVI HW Accelration on

[Schnuffel]

all 3 codec

Codec: MPEG-4 Video (XVID)
Codec: MPEG-4 Video (DX50)
Codec: MPEG-4 Video (mp4v)

are still crashing with 2.1.1.

[Ajaja]

are still crashing with 2.1.1.

+1 still crashing.

[Valkyr09]

Hi, I have been using vlc nightly build 2.20 (build 30 Sept 2013) and the hw acceleration works. Thanks for fixing. My system is Windows 8 64 bit with Geforce GT 630 M on 8 gb ram. The VLC build was 64 bit.

Nightly builds have its own problems. For example, crashing with "Video post processing filter" activated. So, I'm waiting for the solving problem in the stable version.

[eltouco]

Hi All,

i also have a crash when hardware decoding is actived (automatic or set to VADX)

I use VLC 2.1.0 x64 on Windows 7 64 bits FR, my graphic card is a radeon HD 5800 with latest Catalyst

Good luck for the fix.

Touco

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

You really should use 32bits versions.

OK, I will try to do another build.

[xing2]

I use the 32bit version and it crashes!
Did someone test VLC 2.1.0 before releasing it?
