Motion crash

Question

I have 3 IP camera axis,whit a opensuse 10.3 distribution i have configured motion with 3 thread files in daemon mode the 3 ip camera address is 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.11 192.168.0.12

but later some time iwhen i run ps aux the process motion is not present. for testing i have running motion in console mode , and later some minutes crash with one message,

i paste the comfiguration files and the crash error

Motion.conf

Could you try to get a coredump instead ?

ulimit -c 100000000
./motion

You'll get on motion crash a core file or core.12312 ( where 12312 is the pid of motion ).

I have the same problem. The problem seems to me has occured after updating a ffmpeg.

Environment

Motion version:	3.2.8, 3.2.9, 3.9.10
ffmpeg version:	0.4.9.11171-7.1
Libraries:	ffmpeg, mysql, postgresql
Server OS:	OpenSuse 10.3

Small investigation.

ffmpeg.c
/* Closes a video file. */
void ffmpeg_close(struct ffmpeg *ffmpeg)
{
        unsigned int i;

        /* close each codec */
        if (ffmpeg->video_st) {
                pthread_mutex_lock(&global_lock);
                avcodec_close(AVSTREAM_CODEC_PTR(ffmpeg->video_st));
                pthread_mutex_unlock(&global_lock);
                av_freep(&ffmpeg->picture);
motion_log(LOG_ERR, 0, "\nRAF11\n");
                free(ffmpeg->video_outbuf);
motion_log(LOG_ERR, 0, "\nRAF11\n");
        }

        /* write the trailer, if any */
motion_log(LOG_ERR, 0, "\nRAF14\n");
        av_write_trailer(ffmpeg->oc);
motion_log(LOG_ERR, 0, "\nRAF14\n");

        /* free the streams */
        for (i = 0; i < ffmpeg->oc->nb_streams; i++) {
                av_freep(&ffmpeg->oc->streams[i]);
        }

        if (!(ffmpeg->oc->oformat->flags & AVFMT_NOFILE)) {
                /* close the output file */
motion_log(LOG_ERR, 0, "\nRAF15\n");
                url_fclose(&ffmpeg->oc->pb);
motion_log(LOG_ERR, 0, "\nRAF15\n");
        }

heh. Unfortunately, with version 0.4.9-9.pm.svn20071229 occurs the same. I have no old version ffmpeg.

-- RafisKhayrullin - 01 Jan 2008

Thanks , to help me to fix that could you tell me what svn version of motion are you running and also what is the output of motion on start :

[0] Processing thread 0 - config file motion.conf
[0] Motion 3.2.10 Started
[0] ffmpeg LIBAVCODEC_BUILD 3352064 LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD 3344896

btw did you get that message on motion build :

ffmpeg.c: In function ‘mpeg1_write_trailer’:
ffmpeg.c:191: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘put_buffer’ from incompatible pointer type
ffmpeg.c:192: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘put_flush_packet’ from incompatible pointer type
ffmpeg.c: In function ‘ffmpeg_close’:
ffmpeg.c:568: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘url_fclose’ from incompatible pointer type

Because it that happens makes sense the problem , otherwise no.

That's because ffmpeg API has changed :

* OLD *

typedef struct AVFormatContext {
    const AVClass *av_class; /**< set by av_alloc_format_context */
    /* can only be iformat or oformat, not both at the same time */
    struct AVInputFormat *iformat;
    struct AVOutputFormat *oformat;
    void *priv_data;
    ByteIOContext pb;
...


* NEW *

typedef struct AVFormatContext {
    const AVClass *av_class; /**< set by av_alloc_format_context */
    /* can only be iformat or oformat, not both at the same time */
    struct AVInputFormat *iformat;
    struct AVOutputFormat *oformat;
    void *priv_data;
    ByteIOContext *pb;
...

Here is a patch that fix this issue , patch is against svn r292, but easy to port to any other revision.
