sfeMovie project [v1.0 RC1 available]

[slotdev]

Hi

There was an sfeMove demo of Big Buck Bunny running on the Windows version (i.e. all compiled and ready to run) - where is that file located now? I just need to test it on some hardware to make sure it works!

Thanks
Ed

No, the bug is this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49817.

From what I understood, it's related to SFML, not to sfeMovie. Thus I guess I can't do much about it, or did I miss something?

Actually, I also got a segfault using the same movie but encoded with a different quality.
I think is the same error but just in case, here is the backtrace: [...]

Yes it's the same error.

If by "disable assembler optimizations" do you mean to build ffmpeg with the "--disable-asm" flag, then I also got a segfault with this backtrace: [...]

That's indeed what I mean, and you're right, it stills crashes . I guess I'll have to search deeper for what's wrong there.

Yes, the problem is either something in SFML or in the radeon driver. I will try using the catalyst driver to see if the same thing happens, but my guess is that it only affects the open source driver.

EDIT: The catalyst driver does not have this issue.

I've compiled the ffplay that comes with the ffmpeg in the deps directory to see if the problem is swscale, but it plays (almost) without problems with it.

note: I compiled ffmpeg with the flags used by the build script + the --disable-avfilter flag since ffplay uses it instead of swscale if compiled.

Good to know .

Yeah I don't expect sws_scale() to be buggy, I must have done something wrong earlier. I've already checked the parameters given to sws_scale() in 32 bits and 64 bits and they're the same (I suspected wrong computations due to the sizes of types), so it should be because of a mistake somewhere else.

Is there any option to use this in SFML 1.6?

[Ceylo]

Uh... I gave up on SFML 1.6 a... very long time ago. Even in the first (buggy) beta I was already using SFML 2.0. Thus no, sfeMovie isn't usable with SFML 1.6.


Edit: but thank you, thanks to you I found out very old projects I had written, and I'm kinda nostalgic now .

The crash with sws_scale() has been fixed . I could successfully play movies with Linux 64 bits and OS X with GuardMalloc enabled (the later was actually reporting the same sws_scale() error).

Tell me if everything works fine for you! (use the latest sources from the Git repository)

Yes, the video plays without crashing, even those encoded with ffmpeg2theora. The only problem is that the audio still lags.

You mean that audio is late ? Yeah I still didn't look at this issue yet. Everything in its own time .

[Ceylo]

As for audio, it's late only when I do a stop (S) or restart (R) command with the sample player. Is it the same for you or does it also occur when launching the program ?

[Rogof]

When starting the sample program.

[Ceylo]

I couldn't get audio to be late at launch. Even if I've an idea to fix this if it's what I think of. Does it resync when you do pause/play (Space) ?

Yes, it does.

[Ceylo]

I did another push. Can you tell me whether audio is still desynchronized when launching the sample program ?

Unfortunately, it is.
