Bug 94446 – xine crashing on playing dvd audio with USE="a52"

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tom Kiermaier 2005-05-29 20:15:58 UTC]

I tried to play a dvd today to find out that any xine based apps crash and 
burn when trying to play dvds. After getting through the fbi warnings on dvd 
it crashed. Found out after much trial and error that its crashing as soon as 
it tries to play audio. The audio is all a52 according to mplayer (which 
works). I have a52 in my use flags. Emerging xine-lib with -a52 in the use 
flags takes care of the issue.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="a52" emerge xine-lib  
2. try watching a dvd 
3.   
  
Actual Results:  
Crash 

Expected Results:  
Play the dvd

Forgot to mention versions here: 
media-libs/xine-lib-1.0.1-r3  
media-libs/a52dec-0.7.4-r5 
 
Tried playing the videos with a52 audio with kaffeine-0.6-r1 and 
xine-ui-0.99.3-r1. 
 

[Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-05-29 21:03:29 UTC]

Can you look at which kind of audio track the DVD was using?
I'm using the new xine-lib with +a52 since before committing it to watching DVDs and I haven't found 
problems as for now with the ones I have here.

[Comment 3 Tom Kiermaier 2005-05-30 08:00:32 UTC]

xine-ui is saying that the audio codec is A/52 5.1, 2 channels, bitrate of  
384000, 16 bits, sample rate of 48000. Is that the info you needed?  

[Comment 4 Stephen Guerrera 2005-06-02 11:07:28 UTC]

I'm having the same issue as the original poster, only I'm also having issues
with Ogle and VLC as well.  mplayer plays the file as would be expected.  

vlc returns: 
[00000201] main audio output error: couldn't find a filter for the first part of
the conversion
[00000201] main audio output error: couldn't set an input pipeline 

Ogle and Xine close.

Latest xine-lib helps? 
 

[Comment 6 Tom Kiermaier 2005-08-04 16:15:18 UTC]

nope. same problem.  

[Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-08-18 06:30:23 UTC]

If the problem is reproducible with vlc and ogle, the problem is probably with   
a52dec. The differences between xine's and our a52dec are only with the 
memory-aligned allocation, so I don't really know. 
 

[Comment 8 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-09-01 16:39:29 UTC]

1.1.0-r2 works? 
 

[Comment 9 Tom Kiermaier 2005-09-01 16:47:38 UTC]

Nope. VLC works fine. 

[Comment 10 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-12-02 05:14:06 UTC]

Is this still an issue with 1.1.1-r1? 
I'm still watching DVDs with a52 audio without problems :| 

[Comment 11 Tom Kiermaier 2005-12-02 06:17:56 UTC]

Seems to be working now.  

[Comment 12 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-12-02 06:40:42 UTC]

Great :) Reopen if it's still an issue.
