#4415 closed defect (worksforme)

Multi-threaded Multi-slice H264 decode gives incorrect error.

Version: unspecified Keywords: h264

Description

Summary of the bug: Using slice-based multithreaded decode with the H264 decoder produces the error "changing width/height on slice N" when the width and height have not changed. There appears there may be a bug in the logic and/or some variables are not properly initialized.

How to reproduce:
Using the attached Record1MDVideoX.h264 file (which seems to be correct..)

$ ffmpeg -y -threads 4 -thread_type slice -i /mnt/u/Record1MDVideoX.h264 test.mp4

I am currently using ffmpeg 2.1.4 but the same can be reproduced on the latest ffmpeg as well. I instrumented the method decode_slice_header as attached and it produced the following output:

$ ffmpeg -y -threads 4 -thread_type slice -i /mnt/u/Record1MDVideo.h264 test.mp4

Should we expect to get these errors every time we decode a multi-slice video with multiple threads?

Replying to mmorrison:

I am currently using ffmpeg 2.1.4 but the same can be reproduced on the latest ffmpeg as well.

For future tickets, please provide the console output for latest FFmpeg.

Decoding worked fine for me last week and still works fine. I opened ticket #4416 for the regression in 2.6.
