Or just not advertise hwaccel if multi-threading is enabled. Breaking code that currently works like H.264 to disallow this I would indeed mind though. So the only solution is to add the extra magic that makes it not crash, and someone should produce a patch for that if their setup can reproduce it.

This allows a perfect and seamless change without requiring the hwaccel-mt hack. In the end it also comes down to this: On Intel hardware, MT+HWAccel (at least DXVA2) is fundamentally broken, and unfixable in the current design. The problem is that concurrent access to the decoded surfaces from different threads simply does not work, and while avcodec locks the decoding threads out that only ever one is working, it does not know when the user code accesses the surface, and there is no way to tell it either. So anytime a frame is used as a reference and you try to process it in user code at the same time, decoding fails. This can be reproduced with ffmpeg CLI even. This reason is enough to consider the entire concept flawed, imho. Of course avcodec shouldn't crash when you use it, but a patch to disallow this combination would never be accepted by yourself and some others that like this cheap (albeit wrong) method for fallback. So the only solution is to add the extra magic that makes it not crash, and someone should produce a patch for that if their setup can reproduce it. - Hendrik ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel

With DXVA it crashes, looks like heap corruption or the like. setting thread_safe_callbacks = 1 cures the issue but I get some green frames at start of playback. Any reason to believe this patch causes it? Because I can't see how it would. Maybe it's just a bug with DXVA and multithreading in the HEVC code? Can you provide some more information like a stacktrace, possibly using a tool like DrMemory? ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
