Description

[23528] increased kDecoderProbeBufferSize from 64K to 1M. For some unknown reason, this is causing the MacOS X client to crash (HDHR, Live TV only):

The file recorded by that LiveTV session (all 5 to 10 seconds of it) plays back just file in watch recordings.

I can confirm this on OSX 10.6.3 when compiling with osx-packager.pl -m32.

The log can be found on

​http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8342

but is probably not very helpful.

  • Component changed from MythTV - General to Ports - OSX
  • Owner changed from ijr to nigel

comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by stridger@…

Sorry to nag, but given that this is a showstopper for LiveTV in 0.23 on OSX, and RC3 is out already, is there a chance that the fix will make it into 0.23 final?

Thanks.

Please read the ticket howto.

comment:5 Changed 3 years ago by janne

(In [24618]) NVP: decrease kDecoderProbeBufferSize to 128k

reverts [23528] partially after the evob probe was fixed. Hopefully
fixes the Mac OS X stack overflow in Refs #8179. Refs #7233

Backported to 0.23-fixes, I can confirm this fixes LiveTV on 10.5/10.6 OS X (Intel).

comment:8 Changed 3 years ago by nigel

(In [25295]) Prevent stack overflow with LiveTV on Mac OS X, by allocating buffer from heap.
Thanks to Christoph Rudorff. Refs #6211. Refs #8179.
Tidier solution than trunk's [24618]?
