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?
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.
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
