DVBSub Crash
Hi Tourettes,
I've been investigating my problem with crashing DVBSubs some more and have come to the conclusion that it is probably not just related to BBCHD subs...
Yesterday, the subs showed fine when I fired up my MP. I then went over to watch a video [x264 mkv] and when I returned to MyTV, MP just crashed.
In the event viewer I find the following error for the Application Log:
"Faulting application MediaPortal.exe, version 1.0.0.21306, time stamp 0x49651b6f, faulting module DVBSub2.ax, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x49650d72, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00003cf4, process id 0x55c, application start time 0x01c992cbe4d3f410."
All my previous crashes also generated the same eventID. When I don't enable DVBSubs, I never have this problem. Seems to be coming from the DVBSub2.ax module.
I posted my MP log for reference.
Is this something which could be handled within this thread or do I need to start a separate bug report?
Regards,
Peter

Hi Tourettes,
Yesterday, I reinstalled my Vista+MP from scratch as part of a HDD replacement. I also applied the 21306 svn as this one was reported to solve the HD subtitles crashes.
Unfortunately, my MP keeps crashing when I activate DVB Subs on an HD channel. On SD channels it works fine.
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Submitting an HD ts-file will probably not add much more info as the issue is probably located in the MP code and not in the ts-stream.

Only way I can reproduce the issue is to submit a TS file that can be used to reproduce the crash. Othwise the issue will stay open.

Running the latest public SVN did solved the dvbs-subtitle crash with BBC-HD. (SVN 21864)
With SVN 21813 sometimes MP crashed with BBC-HD. And even after a complete powerdown and restart the problem stayed. I almost think that BBC-HD sometimes changes their broadcast codec. Because watching BBC HD can work ok and crash MP a minute later.
Between the two SVN's I did not change anything. All codecs stayed the same.

I've had to turn DVB-subtitles off because of this problem.
If DVB subtitles are on this is my experience:
- All channels can be tuned to and viewed for extended periods of time.
- Switching to and from BBC HD does not cause crash initially
- DVB subtitles are viewable on all channels (inc. BBC HD)
Within 24 hours from turning the option on (but not a definitive amount of time), tuning to BBC HD will cause MediaPortal to crash within seconds.
If you can explain how and where to supply a recent BBC HD .ts sample, then I can provide one. I will also provide full logs and screenshots when recreating this issue.
EDIT: Just doing a bit of testing now - rather than there being a timelimit on the change from not-crashing to crashing ...it seems to me that dvb subtitles work the first time MediaPortal is opened after the option is enabled. Once MP is closed and then opened for the 2nd time, this is when the crash occurs. This is the experience I just had. The logs below show:
- MediaPortal Start
- Navigate to TV Guide
- Tune to BBC 1 (SD channel)
- Enable DVB subtitles
- Tune to BBC HD
After a crash a 'sc stop tvservice' followed by 'sc start tvservice' starts the cycle again
EDIT 2: Typical of this problem. I'm just trying to recreate the problem again, but this time I had to close and open MediaPortal about 4 times before the crash occurred again....but invariable the crash does occur.
If it is related to the 2nd start up of MP, then it sounds like server side issue (that shoulnd't have any affect on the subtitles). So, I hihgly doubt that the MediaPortal start count has anything to do with the issue.
To provide TS data for testing do following:
1) start MP
2) turn tv on
3) reproduce the error
4) copy timeshifting files(s) to some safe place
5) test all those timeshifting files inside my videos
6) After you have found the one that can be used to reproduce the issue upload the .ts file to FTP:
Address: ftp.team-mediaportal.com
Login: tsdump@team-mediaportal.com
Password: mpuser88
...and remember to name the file in such whay that it can be tracked back to this thread

Hi Tourettes,
Based on the recommendations in this thread, I have now upgraded both my MP and TVS to svn21864.
Unfortunately, I'm still getting intermittent crashes when activating subtitles on BBC HD.
However, I think I may have found a possible cause.
MP only seems to crash when there is a subtitle to be shown immediately after tuning to BBC HD [or starting a recorded program].
If you tune in to BBC HD and they are not immediately broadcasting subtitles [e.g. when there is only music and nothing being said], MP doesn't crash and the subtitles get shown correctly when they pop up in the stream.
I have uploaded a rar-file to the ftp-server, called "BBCHD_TS_Related2DVB subtiles crash BBC HD.rar"
It contains 2 ts-streams:
For the stream that is crashing, I have provided my MP logs generated by MP Watchdog.
In case of a crash, the eventlog is filled always with the same error:
Hope this information can bring you somewhat closer to solving this annoying bug in MP.
Regards,
Peter

It contains 2 ts-streams:
1. "Test - SubHD@StartofStream.ts": This one has subs starting at the start of the stream and causes a crash on my MP.
2. "Test - NoSubHD@StartofStream.ts": This one starts of with an SD-channel for about 6 seconds and then tunes into BBC HD without any issues. The first ten seconds are the BBC HD test page and then another program with subs start. This doesn't cause a crash on my MP.

As attachemnt there is patched DVBSub2.ax filter binary. Hopefully it works

Hi Tourettes,
Just applied the patch and it seems to do the trick. Yipee!
I'm guessing you're just delaying the start of showing subs until some seconds after tuning into the HD channel as I can notice a short delay which isn't the case when tuning into an SD channel.
Quick question: is this is definitive fix and is this only applicable to BBC HD or to all HD channels?
Thanks again. I'll keep monitoring the situation and let you know if I discover any further issues.
