Linux XBMC crashes when watching MPG-File
#1
hi,

i have an issue when watching a particular mpg-file.
XBMC crashes in libavcodec/h264.c and i have no debugging symbols.

i see there's an environment variable to define for FFMPEG_C_FLAGS but that's not exactly what i'm looking for.
i'd like to get ffmpeg configured with --disable-optimizations --enable-debug3 or sth like that.

does anyone know how to achieve this?

EDIT:
I decided to edit the title of my question because i have further information on my subject.
At first i thought only my modified version of XBMC 12.1 crashes when watching SkyHD, but i verified today that latest master branch crashes too.
It happened on Linux x86 with xbmc version https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/f322...fd697957ab
Example video files:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/82lty8xmc06zu9...esHD_1.mpg
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rvzhrq54g8c2gt...esHD_2.mpg

gdb shows crash in lib/ffmpeg/avcodec/h264.c in function decode_slice_header...

xbmc crashes instant when you enter the menu with the files listed (because it reads playtime or sth i think).
maybe anyone can help me with that?

EDIT:
prefixed the thread for linux as 12.0 12.1 and 13alpha works under windows.

Depends on the platform you are using. Most likly you have to alter the configure line for ffmpeg in XBMCs configure.in.
