avdec_h264 seg fault

I am getting a segmentation fault trying to use the avdec_h264 decoder in the libav plugin.

I am running on an ARM platform running Linux with kernel 4.14.78-mx6+ge692c3062368.

Gstreamer 1.14.4

LSB Version: core-5.0-noarch:core-5.0-arm

Distributor ID: fslc-framebuffer

Description: FSLC FrameBuffer 2.6

Release: 2.6

Codename: thud

libavcodec 58. 18.100 / 58. 18.100

Segmentation fault

If I use a Freescale implemented imxvpudec hardware decoder then it works fine (see below).

I appreciate the platform is very specific, I will speak to my boss on Monday who built the distribution and see if he can rebuild it. Just wanted to know if sort of issue anyone has seen or can recommend some further investigation.

Perhaps you can run this in gdb and share a backtrace of the crash ?

Re: avdec_h264 seg fault

Hi Nicolas.

gdb just stops at the point of the illegal instruction in a thread for the 'queue' in the pipeline always at the same location. The disassembly window just shows what appears random ARM instructions. I'll try to see if can get some backtrace but it doesn't look hopeful.
If I take out the queue from the pipeline then the error just moves to another gstreamer thread created by the pipeline.

I briefly saw a couple of frames go through the encoder (it's for a softphone so was waiting for video at a remote phone).

I could try a simple test app I guess that runs the gst-launch command that also fails in the same way but it will probably not give any more backtrace than have seen already. Maybe I'll have to see if can get gstreamer built with debug information for the binaries.

Gary.

Run "threads apply all bt" in order to get a full backtrace.
