Capture card with H264 output pin crash

[Ruben Reis]

Hi! I'm trying to record and stream video from an AVerMedia LGP Lite capture card that has an HDMI input.

Unfortunately ffmpeg just crashes when I run the command without additional information.

I'm using the FFmpeg git-a1953d4 32-bit Static

Same problem on ffplay

Notes:
-I checked and no other apps are using the device
-The device works well with it's own software and other capture programs
-I'm using 16Gb RAM, Windows 10 and a Intel i7 5820K

Without a backtrace, disassembly and register dump, there won't be much we can do...

How can I get that info? I didn't find any tip about that...

See https://ffmpeg.org/bugreports.html

Assuming no FFmpeg developer owns an AVerMedia LGP Lite capture card, there is absolutely nothing we can do without a backtrace, disassembly and register dump.

does it crash, is that it?
also an output from -loglevel verbose please

[Roger Pack]

I can provide an ffmpeg with debug symbols (ffmpeg_g.exe) if you'd like to run that, as well, leave a comment here..

Sure ;)

OK see ​https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmpegwindowsbi/files/ffmpeg_g.exe/download

You'll want to run it in a windows version of gdb (32 bit) then after it crashes, run "thread apply all backtrace" or just "backtrace"

These "might" work:
​https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages%20(Win64%20hosted)/gdb/

but typically if you install any mingw gcc.exe it will come with a gdb.exe as well, GL!
