[Bug 1246976] Re: OpenShot crashing when saving project, then using the timeline or controls to set playback position

 

Under 1.4.4~alpha, I opened an old project using just JPEG images and
an MP3 track, and this is the terminal's output:

[mp3 @ 0x41bc8e0] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5015510 microseconds

 This doesn't make sense. OpenShot needs to be able to properly adjust,
even if it means modifying saved work. The fact that it crashes without
resolving the problem shows a very serious bug, and plenty of complaints
from users like myself.

  What's odd is I think this is both an OS level and higher library bug(s). Occassionally the entire OS will hang with the mouse cursor will still work, but the graphics seem to be frozen. Getting loads of segmentation faults from OpenShot when...
  Saving the project, then going to the timeline or video controls to set the current playback position, or advance back to the beginning - pretty much any change in the videos position = instant crash. If I reload the same project after saving it, without changing the current playback position, I have no such problem until I save and immediately try to change the timelines position (seems to be something with that entire process). Oddly enough, I could postone the "crash" by saving, adding a new track, then setting the playback position where-ever I wanted. Worked for awhile, but then crashed after every save again.

  On the OS side, i've noticed on a slower single core system (1.8
  processor), if I click an control or option anywhere in OpenShot (or
  anything for that matter, ie.,. audacity) and don't allow the previous
  function to complete... the applications hang. It's like a messaging
  sync problem with the underlying libraries (doesn't wait for the
  current function to conplete before attempting the next one).

  Also, the first video I made with OpenShot a month ago, didn't exibit
  these problems. It seems to have started within the past 3 weeks
  (perhaps during the upgrade, or with an underlying library not quite
  in sync with the layers above).
