Segfault in videoout_null

Description

I get this segfault repeatedly watching ATSC or NTSC live tv, and enabling PiP. Sorry for partial backtrace (attached), this is all I can get on Windows.

Closer examination shows this: (gdb) return Make selected stack frame return now? (y or n) y #0 VideoOutputNull::UpdatePauseFrame? (this=0x342e8ab0)

at videoout_null.cpp:177

177 } (gdb) info locals pauseb = (VideoFrame? *) 0x2f41cfc0 pauseu = (VideoFrame? *) 0x0 (gdb) print pauseb $1 = (VideoFrame? *) 0x2f41cfc0 (gdb) print pauseb->buf $2 = (unsigned char *) 0x0

which means that memcpy(pauseFrame.buf, pauseb->buf, pauseb->size); was called with null pointer.

Output of -v playback is below (several times). Apparently UpdatePauseFrame? is called while vbuffers.Init is still running.

Andrei, can you give the attached patch a try? It just copies over some of the same code from VideoOutputXv?.. in some limited testing here it doesn't seem to cause any problems and it should be fully thread-safe since it is based on the X11 code..

It seems to be stable with the patch.

Thanks, Daniel.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [16266]) Fixes #4758. Fixes a segfault in videoout_null.

This just copies over some of the locking we use in VideoOutputXv?? and cleans up the ctor/dtor.
