Crash for multiple videos using gstreamer-vaapi

Tue Mar 22 23:30:33 PDT 2011

Hi,

I am trying to play multiple videos [mov/mp4/mpeg-ts container, H.264/MPEG2
Video Codec] using a sample gstreamer application, [This application runs as
a single process spawning multiple threads] simultaneously using
GStreamer-vaapi and libVA-1.0.7.
The driver used for hardware acceleration of video is "i965".
Following is the result of "vainfo":
------------------------------------------------------------------
libva: libva version 0.31.1
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /opt/X11R7/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0

      VAProfileVC1Main                : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Advanced            : VAEntrypointVLD
------------------------------------------------------------------

In the sample application I am creating multiple windows using
"XCreateWindow" and passing the generated window ID to vaapisink.
There following is the problem that I am facing:

The application crashes randomly:
None of the gstreamer calls return a failure and the state is getting
changed to play successfully. Tried the application with different container
formats.
Also from the command line using "gst-launch" I am able to playback multiple
videos simultaneously. [Here one difference compared to the sample
application is, these are running as separate processes]

Following is the backtrace of the gdb :

I am using the following packages as mentioned on Intel Linux graphics site
"http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2010Q4.html".

Apart from this I have installed the following gstreamer packages:
gstreamer-0.10.31
gst-plugins-base-0.10.29
gst-plugins-good-0.10.22
gst-plugins-bad-0.10.19
gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.15
gst-ffmpeg-0.10.10
gstreamer-vaapi-latest(downloaded from
http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/gstreamer-vaapi/).

For reference attaching the sample application(MultiVideos.c).

I am not sure if it is application problem or plugin or driver limitation or
X? As the same application runs with "ximagesink" and software decoder like
ffmpeg.
What could be the problem? 

PS:
OS : Fedora Core 13
Kernel : 2.6.37
Platform: Intel i5, Sandy Bridge

Regards,
Jyotsana.
