#9892 closed Bug Report - Hang/Deadlock (fixed)
Latest mplayer breaks nuvexport

Description
The lastest version of mplayer breaks nuvexport. After selecting a show you want to export, nuvexport calls mplayer to get information on the video. This mplayer call results in mplayer going crazy indefinitely. That call is:
/usr/bin/mplayer -v -v -v -v -nolirc - nojoystick -vo null -ao null -frames 1 -identify '/path/to/some/random/mythtv/recording' 2> /dev/null
The problems is the -frames 1 bit. When manually using with -frames 0 it appears to give desired output. Oddly, when grep'ing my nuvexport code, I couldn't find "-frames 1" *ANYWHERE*. I did see, however, "-frames 0" in what looks like it should generate the aformentioned mplayer call in nuvinfo.pm .... this begs the question, just where in the hell is -frames 1 coming from anyway??
Using Arch Linux.... but this has reared its ugly head in Fedora as well: http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-users/2011-June/012721.html

Change -frames 1 to -frames 0 in the perl bindings
With the version of mplayer I have, it makes no difference, but apparently in newer mplayer versions, it can make a difference somehow. Beats me why mplayer would have an issue with decoding one single video frame, but whatever.

The problem with switching to -frames 0 instead of -frames 1 is that it causes mis-detections of the aspect ratio for some recordings.
Example recording from BBC1 (TV, 10th Sep 11) produces a non-detection of the aspect ratio:
$ mplayer -frames 0 -identify 1001_20110910180000.mpg 2>&1 | grep ^ID ID_VIDEO_ID=0 ID_AUDIO_ID=0 ID_FILENAME=1001_20110910180000.mpg ID_DEMUXER=mpegps ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=0x10000002 ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=15000000 ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=720 ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=576 ID_VIDEO_FPS=25.000 ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000 <<<< Badly detected aspect ratio ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=80 ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0 ID_AUDIO_RATE=0 ID_AUDIO_NCH=0 ID_START_TIME=0.29 ID_LENGTH=3841.48 ID_SEEKABLE=1 ID_CHAPTERS=0 ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffmpeg2 ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=256000 ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000 ID_AUDIO_NCH=2 ID_AUDIO_CODEC=mpg123 ID_EXIT=EOF
Running the same with -frames 1 gives:
$ mplayer -frames 1 -identify 1001_20110910180000.mpg 2>&1 | grep ^ID ID_VIDEO_ID=0 ID_AUDIO_ID=0 ID_FILENAME=1001_20110910180000.mpg ID_DEMUXER=mpegps ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=0x10000002 ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=15000000 ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=720 ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=576 ID_VIDEO_FPS=25.000 ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000 <<<< As before ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=80 ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0 ID_AUDIO_RATE=0 ID_AUDIO_NCH=0 ID_START_TIME=0.29 ID_LENGTH=3841.48 ID_SEEKABLE=1 ID_CHAPTERS=0 ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffmpeg2 ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=256000 ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000 ID_AUDIO_NCH=2 ID_AUDIO_CODEC=mpg123 ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=1.7778 <<<<< Correct ratio ID_EXIT=EOF
So, although the change to -frames 0 avoids the 'forever-hang' on some recordings, it causes others to have the wrong aspect ratio reported.
Cheers,
Mark

I should have said - differences between recordings from the same channel that work and that don't work appear to be down to mplayer detecting the broadcast stream as MPEG-PS or as TS.

Hope that helps a little more. It looks like a flaw in mplayer rather than a bug in nuvexport/myth's perl libraries.

Hi all,
I found another workaround - it looks like increasing the amount of the stream that mplayer looks at can also fix the problem of non-detected video.
Swapping the command line for:

I've checked, and it seems that adding -tsprobe <big number> doesn't hurt mplayer's identification of MPEG-PS, so this might be able to be added routinely. I've added it to Recording.pm, and it does fix the hang for me.
50,000,000 seems to reliably hang, 60,000,000 seems to work for some recordings, 120,000,000 seems to work reliably for me for a collection of about 100 tv recordings.
Nothing seems to prevent the hang for radio recordings without a video stream. Piping in a 'q' after 15 seconds should cause mplayer to quit gracefully but feels somewhat ugly.
Cheers,
Mark
( Sorry for the repeated additions to this ticket. )
The error is actually in a very similar call in the Perl bindings. The Perl bindings are calling mplayer to gather a bunch of information about the video in question. The final plan for this is to make the information available in the database, populated at the time of recording, however this is likely not to happen until 0.26. As a short term alternative, MythTV now builds a 'mythffmpeg', intended as a target static to a specific MythTV release (rather than the moving target that is ffmpeg), that could be used to extract this information.
