Hi all,

I've been following this thread gstreamer: video fails to play when opened for second time but as I'm not sure if my problem is the same I'm opening a new one.

My problem is in a iMX28 custom board, and the code I'm running in my application is really trivial:

gst_init (NULL, NULL);

    /* Build the pipeline */

    pipeline = gst_parse_launch ("playbin2 uri=file:///mnt/gonzalo/Copreci-heart_x264_200x120_12000_15fps_320_22050.mp4", NULL);

    /* Start playing */

    gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);

    /* Wait until error or EOS */

    bus = gst_element_get_bus (pipeline);

    msg = gst_bus_timed_pop_filtered (bus, GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, GST_MESSAGE_ERROR | GST_MESSAGE_EOS);

    /* Free resources */

    if (msg != NULL)

gst_message_unref(msg);

    gst_object_unref(bus);

    gst_element_set_state(pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL);

    gst_object_unref(pipeline);

    gst_deinit();

First time I run this code in my application everything goes fine, the video is played nicely. Here is the log:

Second time my application runs the same code I get the following error:

(<unknown>:4591): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_set_state: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed

(<unknown>:4591): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_get_bus: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed

(<unknown>:4591): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `object != NULL' failed

If I restart my application, the previous code runs fine but once again, only the first time. I've also tried running the same code from a CHILD process. Doing it this way, the code DOESN'T FAIL, so looks something is not de-initializing properly. But in my application I don't want to run it in a child process, and would like to know what's wrong in this code.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Gonzalo.

Hi Gonzalo,

I have attached the libmfw_gst_v4lsink.so extracted from the MM codec package 3.0.11. Please use this library file to replace the one in your rootfs. After the change, the repeat mode can work for your H.264 test vectors.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Gonzalo,

I had a similar bug when I was building the Linux kernel (Freescale 2.6.35 on i.mx53) with the CodeSourcery compiler

Hi Gonzalo,

Yeah, I just recompiled the kernel with another compiler without recompiling the entire root file system. Problems were with

gcc version 4.3.3 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q1-203)

Hi Alexander,

Freescale's L2.6.35_1.1.0_130130_images_MX28 image is built with the following toolchain:

Linux version 2.6.35.3-670-g914558e (r65388@szx32-17) (gcc version 4.6.2 20110630 (prerelease) (Freescale MAD -- Linaro 2011.07 -- Built at 2011/08/10 09:20) ) #1 PREEMPT Wed Jan 30 15:03:15 CST 2013

Anyway, I'll try to find a different toolchain (maybe from Yocto) and find out how to use it in Ltib.

Thanks,

Gonzalo.

Hi Peter,

my gbd skills are quite limited. I've installed gdb on the evk and I'm able to launch gplay on gdb, run the mp4 video, set breakpoints, backtrace... but don't know how to set a break point at mfw_gst_v4l.c:907

Please, could you guide me on this??

Thanks,

Gonzalo.

I just set the breakpoint to the function "mfw_gst_v4l2_close" by GDB command "break mfw_gst_v4l2_close". When the gplay stops at the breakpoint, run "backtrace" command to print the stack trace.

More information about GDB commands can be found at http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GDB-Commands.html.

Since there is no "FINALIZE v4l_sink" in your log, I don't expect the gplay will stop at the mfw_gst_v4l2_close() breakpoint in your test.

Thanks a lot, Peter !!

As you were expecting, gplay doesn't stop at mfw_gst_v4l2_close().  Attached you can find the complete log.

The log is from the iMX28-evk running L2.6.35_1.1.0_130130_images_MX28, where I've deleted the original "gplay" and have run the patched "gplay" with the bug you found already fixed.

Previously I tried the original "gplay" with the same results.

Furthermore, I've never seen the "FINALIZE v4l_sink" message, even if a run "gplay" with no repetitions.

Thanks,

Gonzalo.

I have no idea why the "FINALIZE v4l_sink" did not execute even we are using the same prebuilt image. Are you using the MX28 LCD daughter card MCIMX28LCD Seiko 4/3" WVGA Rev B? Can we testing with the same video?

This video is transcoded from https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93383 with the setting {Video codec: MPEG-4 constant framerate & quality, Audio Codec: MP3 (Lame) 128kbps 44100 Hz}.  Using this video, "FINALIZE v4l_sink" will execute when it plays to an end in gplay.

Hi Peter,

Yes, I'm using the iMX28-evk with a "MCIMX28LCD Seiko 4/3" WVGA Rev B"

You are right !!!  Your video file is playing fine, repeating continously with no problem, and I can see the expected [--->FINALIZE v4l_sink at the end of every repetition.

I'm attaching the complete log for 4 repetitions.

Do you know what could be the problem decoding my video file?

Hi Peter,

attached you can find 2 video files I've got transcoding VID_20120917_211055[1].mp4

Both of them don't play smoothly at all on the iMX28evk but when playing

- VID_20120917_211055[1]_x264_KO.mp4: it shows the problem I've reported in this thread.

- VID_20120917_211055[1]_x264_OK.mp4: gplay can repeat it with no problem.


Thanks,

Gonzalo.

Hi again Peter,

I've been doing a lot of testing during this weekend and haven't come to a conclusion but I've got some filling.

The issue looks to be related to how the video is encoded in the mp4 file:

- MPEG-4 encoded video plays quite smoothly, and I think I've always seen the [--->FINALIZE v4l_sink message at the end of every repetition.

- H.264 (x264) encoded video plays more chunky, and it's hard to get a file that shows the [--->FINALIZE v4l_sink message at the end of every repetition.

Does this make any sense for you?

Thanks,

Gonzalo.

I agree with your findings. In your application, is it mandatory to have H.264 support in your application? It looks the H.264 decode is more CPU demanding for the same video quality.

Unfortunately, yes, h.264 is required.
