#13091 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)

vaapi / vdpau crash in display profile code

Reported by: Stuart Auchterlonie Owned by: Peter Bennett
Priority: major Milestone: 29.1
Component: MythTV - Video Playback Version: v29-fixes
Severity: medium Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

My system uses only the Intel graphics from the cpu and therefore uses VAAPI for acceleration.

I hit a situation where the frontend coredumped.

It looks like it's failed to create the vaapi context (happens occasionaly), and we noticed this and coped.

The problem then starts when the new display profile code then goes an selects a vdpau profile, which is wrong for this system. The frontend then tried to load the vdpau libraries and failed and segfaulted.

I'll attach some logs

You can see starting at https://code.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/13091/frontend-vaapi-fail-vdpau-fail-crash-with-verbose.log#L223 that it is clearly deciding (correctly) that vaapi is the way to go (lines 223-225) and then it randomly chooses to try vdpau and fails (lines 226-227)

 No such file or directory

The other log file frontend-vaapi-fail-vdpau-fail-crash.log.1​ captures the crash, but without the --verbose playback. The two taken together should allow us to piece together what is going wrong.

Looking at https://code.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/13091/frontend-vaapi-fail-vdpau-fail-crash.log.1#L74 the stack trace goes via videodisplayprofile.cpp:585 which is right around the area of the new code.
