TD crashing frequently

I’m getting consistent crashing with this project since sometime last night, usually in under a minute after opening the file. I think it is a similar problem to the previous problems I was having because it seems to crash mostly easily and quickly when loading movies and controlling movie parameters.

Also in TOP viewers I’m getting a strange flickering of frames from other TOPs.

If I stop the timeline or not view any TOP, TD is stable. Otherwise it seems to be crashing mostly in about 10 to 15 secs. Could the dump file say where it is getting hung up on?

Flicker of TOPs showing images from other TOPs generally means you are out of GPU memory. That doesn’t explain the crashes still though, looking at the .dmps now

The crash is in the movie reading (it’s still in QT, I thought you moved back to LIBAVCODEC?). Your file is looking for a movie called Comp4.mov which I dont have. Can you post that somewhere for me to get?

I actually tried to use LIBAVCODEC again last night but TD was even more unstable. It would just crash after running for about 5 secs.

I don’t think the Comp4.mov matters, that was just the movie selected at that particular moment. I’ll do a quick test to make sure it still a happens without that particular file.

There must be something up with my system (software/hardware). So far it seems like you haven’t been able to reproduce the crash. Are there some windows 7 settings that I should have set?

I don’t think it’s anything wrong with your system. Your system is just running code in a different order than mine due to thread/multi-cpus which makes the bug appear on your system but mine randomly avoids it. Even if it’s not that particular movie the file you sent has all the Movie In TOPs pointing to it, and the crash is related to movies so it’d be good to have it, or have the file saved in a state where it’s playing one of the movies you’ve previously given me

Here are new project and dump files using movies I sent you before.

Hopefully it makes a difference.

Hi Malcolm I was wondering if there is any news on the movie player crashing. I haven’t been using Touch to play movies the past couple weeks because of the problem. I would really rather use Touch but at this moment I can’t get to play multiple movie files consistently.

thanks

Hey, I still haven’t had any luck reproducing your crash unfortunately. I fixed one crash that occurs if you delete a Movie In TOP that a Audio Movie CHOP is pointing to, but I don’t think that was your issue.
