MythDVD crashes on svn-versions >= 13775

Description

Playing DVD'S ends in a segfault on playing DVD's with versions >= 13775, downgrading mythtv (not plugins) to 13572 solves the problem. The "crash-positions" are the same in a film but different with each film, so they are film-depend.

Just saying it crashes is no use to us we need a backtrace.

Also just to be sure are you using the internal player?

Re-open when a BT is available.

It might also help if you narrowed down which revision the bug was introduced. Two hundred revisions is a little too many.

@paulh Okay, see attached file.

@stuart I have no idea where to look, I couldn't compile 200 versions, it's only a Nehemia 1000MHz-CPU. perhaps you can give me a hint regarding gdb.txt and I could test some versions.

I would suspect the ffmpeg resync in [13655] so try r13654 if that works OK then see if r13655 breaks things.

Does configure detect your processor properly? I would guess the Nehemia needs a specific set of compiler flags.

Got this tip in #mythtv-de, too, will test it, but could take some time.

Yes, compiler-flag is C3-2, I'm not allowed to change anything or compilation fails.

You don't need to compile all 200. Install ccache if you haven't already, it will save you a lot of time. Then try a binary search, that means picking the version between the broken and working ones, repeating until you've narrowed it down to one. That way you only try maybe 5 revisions to find the culprit.

However as Paul suggests it's most likely the ffmpeg re-sync and something to do with the processor optimisations for your CPU. The segfault is occuring the in SSE fast fourier transform calculations.

Are you compiling with --enable-proc-opt?
