Re: [PD] gem segfault when opening video

With gdb I could see that the crash occurs inside filmGMERLIN::getFrame(void), on this line :

bgav_read_video(m_file, m_gframe, m_stream);

m_stream is a null pointer there. I changed :

bgav_set_video_stream(m_file, m_stream, BGAV_STREAM_DECODE); if(!bgav_start(m_file)) { close(); return false; }

to:

bgav_set_video_stream(m_file, m_stream, BGAV_STREAM_DECODE); if(!bgav_start(m_file) || !m_stream) { close(); return false; }

and now at least it does not segfaults. Maybe there's something nicer to do (printing an error message on the console ?), but it looks like a good start.

To be more complete: Gem seems to fall back to quicktime4linux after failing in gmerlin and the film plays OK.
