dshow hang when device is unplugged

[DonMoir]

dshow.c doesn't do any event handling so when you unplug a currently opened device, it will hang in dshow_read_packet since the ctx->event will never be signaled.

See WaitForSingleObject (ctx->event,INFINITE) in dshow_read_packet.

Since there are not going to be anymore packets after the device is unplugged then ctx->event will not be signaled and it will wait forever.

All changes are in dshow.c I tested the following with 2 different cameras and still testing more.

struct dshow_ctx needs to change:

struct dshow_ctx {
    const AVClass *class;

    IGraphBuilder *graph;

    char *device_name[2];
    int video_device_number;
    int audio_device_number;

    int   list_options;
    int   list_devices;
    int   audio_buffer_size;

    IBaseFilter *device_filter[2];
    IPin        *device_pin[2];
    libAVFilter *capture_filter[2];
    libAVPin    *capture_pin[2];

    HANDLE mutex;
    HANDLE event;
    AVPacketList *pktl;

    int64_t curbufsize;
    unsigned int video_frame_num;

    IMediaControl *control;
+   IMediaEvent *media_event;
+   int eof; // signal to stop trying to read packets

    enum AVPixelFormat pixel_format;
    enum AVCodecID video_codec_id;
    char *framerate;

    int requested_width;
    int requested_height;
    AVRational requested_framerate;

    int sample_rate;
    int sample_size;
    int channels;
};

dshow_read_header changes. Adds code to retrieve IMediaEvent and fixes return value on open failure. (see ticket #1976)

    struct dshow_ctx *ctx = avctx->priv_data;

Adds check_event_code to check for device lost or other failures.

Changes dshow_read_packet to call check_event_code and to check ctx->eof

add check for ctx->eof in callback function as a sanity check

fail:

In dshow_read_packet:

-   return pkt->size;
+   return ctx->eof ? -1 : pkt->size;

[DonMoir]

fix type-o in dshow_read_header

• int ret = AVERROR(EIO); fix return value

+ ret = AVERROR(EIO); fix return value

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Ramiro applied a fix that was based on this ticket.

[DonMoir]

Thanks,

vfwcap.c may have similar problems but most likely I won't be dealing with that so vfwcap.c will go untested.

[Roger Pack]

I haven't been porting any dshow changes to vfwcap, either...
