Streaming hanging after a few seconds

Post by moviemaniac »

Hi,

I'm noticing this error on makeMKV 1.5.6 on Ubuntu 10.10 development branch: When streaming movies they hang after a few seconds regardless of the player and/or codec backend (gstreamer/ffmpeg) used. I tried recompiling MakeMKV as well as VLC but the error stayed. When I wanted to test a previous version of MakeMKV which worked perfectly I couldn't find the sources to download anymore :(
When I rip the BDs and make a MKV file, they play just fine.

Any ideas?

Always the latest one via git-checkout. ffmpeg is also kept up-to date at least twice a month fresh from upstream's svn. However, as I wrote, the same problem exists in programs using gstreamer like totem (which I don't build myself so I can rule that out as a source of the problem) and (s)mplayer which is also kept up-to-date by myself.

Found a copy of 1.5.4's sources on my backintime-backup drive and everything works again, so I'd say this is a regression introduced between 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 (I remember 1.5.5 as working)

Okay, scratch that, 1.5.4 isn't working properly either, it has something to do with streaming from the disk

Okay, I found the culprit. I switched to the 2.6.35-rc-series about the time when I installed MakeMKV 1.5.6 - reverting to kernel 2.6.34 fixes the problem for me.

No problems. Anyway the real trouble begins now hunting down the real bug (regression) in the kernel - I've never done a git bisect on a project as big as the kernel itself :shock:
