I've just installed /usr/ports/misc/buffer, and |everything works fine now! Whoohoo! Yes! Much more likely to be fixable in Fxtv. Probably something simple related to process handling I'll bet. I was concerned this might be some obscure kernel bug (might still be, but...) with no application work-around. |To sum up, | w/o buffer w/buffer | MPEG Ready OK OK | MPEG OK OK | FFMPEG Ready script doesn't work OK | FFMPEG kernel crash OK | |If installing the buffer port also works for Alejandro, it would be a |good idea to add a port dependency on buffer to the fxtv port. No, probably not. For the same reason mpeg_audio, mpeg_encode, ffmpeg, etc. aren't dependencies. Dependency in the ports world means required dependency. You can use Fxtv without doing any audio or video encoding, so you don't want package installs to fail or force installing bunches of other cruft it you won't use this. However, it sure as heck shouldn't crash your machine if you don't have it either! ;-) I'm in the middle of something else today, but I'll dig into this in the next day or two and figure out what's going ape. |Anyway, being able to crash a kernel from userland, is kind of a kernel |bug. :-) Under normal circumstances, I agree. Blasting video frames into random memory pages probably voids the warrenty ;-), but I don't think that's what's going on here. |If you are interested, I can produce a crash dump and its stack trace. Don't go to the trouble yet, but I'll let you know. Thanks! Randall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
