Thanks a ton!


Segfault with SVN 19951 on Linux - hal2100 - 2009-05-05

Hello,

I have a crash with movies and tv shows with the svn 19951.
This happened before, bat was fixed with a recent svn. Now again it crashes.

Please find the log at:
http://pastebin.com/m478206ed

This troubles me, because I have a regression with the current main build, which shows a periodic jerkyness every few minutes.

If you have a crash, you need to provide the gdb backtrace. Please read stickies on how to do that.

Thanks.

Please provide console output as well, it's always going to print something there on a crash.
Also check if it also crashes with "use vblank as clock" disabled and check if linuxport crashes too.

This did the trick!
No more crashes. Thanks.

Seems to be an issue with the ati fglrx driver.

Disclaimer: I haven't done a side-by-side comparison of smoothvideo against linuxport (I will do one soon... kinda in the middle of a move to a new apartment), so it could be a system-wise issue, but I doubt it...

Anyone?


- bobo1on1 - 2009-05-06

It's on my todo list.

Now that Babylon is finished, do you think there's a chance for Smoothvideo to merge with the main branch?


- tslayer - 2009-05-06

Yes.


- SlaveUnit - 2009-05-07

So what if the smoothbranch makes things worse over the reg branch for some (as in myself and at least one other)? Will there be options to not use it? For some reaon my playback has may more random jerks with the smooth branch. Where it has practically none with the regular branch


- bobo1on1 - 2009-05-07

You can turn it off and it will behave the same as linuxport.

FYI, the latest revision (20039) don't seem to compile. My compile fails with dvdplayer Error 1 and Error 2 messages. Probably something to do with your latest rewrites or additions to the brach. Revision 19951 compiles just fine.

EDIT: Seems to be fixed now with revision 20044, thx again bobo1on1! Smile


- tslayer - 2009-05-07

Latest compiles fine here.. 20042.

Never mind.. it does fail now.

@bobo1on1

I just want to tell how great the branch works now with latest builds. I am using it full time with vdpau without a real problem. This really should be in the main-branch so people can get rid of jerky playback.

One question:
Why is it that the a/v delay number (if i press o whilest playback) fluctuation around a non zero number eg. -0.4 and not around 0. Doesn't it makes a little bit of delay in audio or video ?

Thanks for the great work,

Alan
