Description Abri le Roux 2003-10-07 19:09:57 UTC
Hi. 
 
I installed kino 0.6.4 using portage. 
 
When using that capture tab, and switching on AV/C, I can control my camera fine, but 
kino crashes when any video is being sent over the firewire interface. 
 
However, when I install kino by hand (downloading it from http://kino.schirmacher.de/, 
./configure, make, make install). It works fine, with no errors whatsoever. 
 
(I know of at least 2 other gentoo users with sony cameras having the same problem, 
see 
http://kino.schirmacher.de/dcforum/dcforum?az=show_topic&forum=101&topic_id=2016&mesg_id=2016&page= 
 
) 
 
 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kino 
2. with firewire initialized, and the camera turned on and plugged in, launch kino 
3. go to the CAPTURE tab 
4. switch on AV/C 
5. click play (the camera should start playing on its LCD/viewfinder) 
6. crash 
Actual Results:  
A message popped up saying that kino has segfaulted. 
 
You'll have to manualy kill kino 
 

Expected Results:  
You should see the video appear on the computer screen, and the audio should come 
out of your speakers.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I did *not* install libdv by hand, or replaced
the ieee1394 kernel modules as recommended in the second link.

From what you told, I assume the CFLAGS are the problem.
Can you try to install it with -O2 instead of -O3?
Comment 3 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2003-11-02 02:57:27 UTC
To the reporter: I would really like to fix this bug (as from your description,
it seems to be a gentoo-issue), but I cannot resolve it without your help,
because I don't have a Sony Handycam to reproduce it.
Comment 4 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2003-11-13 05:13:51 UTC
No feedback from the reporter, so closing this bug.
If anyone has this problem and is willing to help me fixing it, please reopen this bug.

I have this same problem using a Sony DCR-TRV33E

My normal CFLAGS are
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe"

As per you suggestion I re-emerged kino using:
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2"
Just incased I misunderstood you, I also tried using just:
CFLAGS="-O2"

That did not help, I had the exact same problem. I have not yet tried compiling it manually. Any other flags you want me to try out? Should I try re-emerging any libraries with these settings?

I have the same problem with Panasonic NV-DS65 camera. Kino 0.6.5 just crashes when I try to grab video. dvgrab works fine.
Kernel 2.6.1
flags =-O2 or -O3 - I tried both
