#13158 closed Bug Report - General (Invalid)

Frontend abort when recording resolution changes with external themes

Reported by:	Alex Halovanic <halovanic@…>	Owned by:	Peter Bennett
Priority:	minor	Milestone:	unknown
Component:	MythTV - Video Playback	Version:	v29-fixes
Severity:	medium	Keywords:	theme resolution
Cc:		Ticket locked:	no

Description

After the upgrade to 29, I noticed that mythfrontend will abort in the middle of recording playback. It is reproducible under the following conditions:

Using a theme other than the ones shipped with MythTV (MythCenter?, MythCenter?-wide, Terra)
Reaching a point in the recording where the resolution changes, such as 1080i -> 720p or vice versa, commonly seen in commercial breaks or program changes, depending on channel.

I have reproduced this consistently with Steppes, Mythbuntu, Arclight and TintedGlass?. This also occurs under both VDPAU and OpenGL playback, The stock themes are consistently unaffected.

I have been unable to gather a stacktrace: I don't think it's actually crashing, just aborting playback and closing mythfrontend:

Cannot make QOpenGLContext current in a different thread
2017-10-25 20:07:58.729655 W  MythPainter: 3 images not yet de-allocated.

2017-10-25 20:07:58.797466 I  Clearing OpenGL painter cache.
Handling Aborted
Aborted

I'll also add that I am not configuring Mythfrontend to switch X resolutions or refresh rates automatically here: X remains unchanged. Furthermore, the OSD is not up when this occurs, nor does it try to display, so the theme isn't displaying anything.

I saw a few changes to add new screens to the shipped themes in 29 but didn't see anything that was marked as breaking that would require all other themes to be updated.

Furthermore, the OSD is not up when this occurs, nor does it try to display, so the theme isn't displaying anything

Could you clarify ? Is com-skipping active ?

The OSD gets 'reset' on every resolution change. If it coincides with a com-skip notification (or subtitle) the OSD can be reset before it is seen. Just because you don't see anything it doesn't mean the OSD isn't active!

That doesn't explain why it only happens on certain themes. Just saying it could be OSD-related (player thread doing OpenGL whilst resetting OSD ?)

comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by Peter Bennett

There is a known issue with VAAPI. Changing resolutions in mid stream stops playback. Your message in the log is a symptom of this (Cannot make QOpenGLContext current in a different thread). However this should not affect VDPAU and should not be related to the theme.

You could try changing the theme painter to QT and see if this resolves the problem. Note that you cannot use QT theme painter together with OpenGL Rendering, but QT theme painter with VDPAU rendering should work.

comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by Alex Halovanic <halovanic@…>

This occurs with commercial skip totally disabled (no notify). It is also happening in the middle of commercial breaks. and there are no subtitles.

Changing the theme painter to QT does appear to cure this. The abort occurs under OpenGL 2 and 1 theme painters only.

comment:5 Changed 6 years ago by Peter Bennett

I retested this and the only time I see it happen is with VAAPI playback selected. Please check your playback profile (frontend->Setup->Video->Playback) Check the current video playback profile. Which playback profiles fail at the resolution change?

Never mind, I see in your description you mention OpenGL and VDPAU profiles. I am not sure where to go with this, as I can only see it with VAAPI.

I have something similar with mythtv-frontend version 2:29.1+fixes.201906130900.c3f7e46~ubuntu18.04.1

I am using VDPAU. And the following happens in the middle of playing a HD recording from a non-commercial channel. Changing theme to one shipped with MythTV or changing theme engine to Qt works around this.

Please let me know which theme you are using when it fails. Also does the failure occur with your extracted sample file?

comment:12 Changed 5 years ago by Jarno Suni

I was using Mythbuntu 28.21 theme.

I am sorry, but I could not test the extracted file by mythfrontend, because the file does not show up in watch videos list even though another video that is also located in /var/lib/mythtv/videos is shown in the list.

comment:13 Changed 5 years ago by Jarno Suni

Oh, after I ran

mythutil --scanvideos

in the client, I could play the extracted video by mythfrontend. So I think the ffmpeg command did not extract identical video about the beginning of the program.

comment:14 Changed 5 years ago by Jarno Suni

Extracted part of the stream by dd. I can reproduce the bug by playing this in mythfrontend. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdlp5mdogdw5j6k/jukola2.ts?dl=0

I played your sample using mythbuntu theme and vdpau playback profile.

With MythTV 0.29 it crashes with an abort called from QOpenGLContext::makeCurrent , likely a result of the error message "Cannot make QOpenGLContext current in a different thread".

With MythTV 30 and master (pre-V31) also using mythbuntu and vdpau, I see first a silent movie of a kid climbing a tree, which abruptly changes to a sportscast with audio. There is no crash.

Since this is fixed in V30, I will not be looking into it further. My recommendation is to upgrade to V30. Alternatively stick with QT painter until you get V30.

comment:16 Changed 5 years ago by Jarno Suni

Ok, just that it is version 29, and there is also some audio in the first scene, but not speech. The recording was about Venlojen viesti 2019. (https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venlojen_viesti)
