[FFmpeg-devel] git ffmpeg/Xbmc lockup

[Kelly Anderson]

Thought I'd give you guys an informal heads up (in particular Carl Eugen 
Hoyos).

I build my Xbmc with the latest git version of FFmeg periodically.
It caused me to pull some of my hair out the other night
when Xbmc locked up when starting videos (h264 for sure).
I finally realized I had just built the latest git version of FFmpeg
prior to rebuilding Xbmc, so I started looking there.

To shorten the story up a bit, I just finished git bisecting FFmpeg
to locate the cause of the problem, and it is....

     Support decoding of some unusual jpeg samples.

     Avoid unsupported pix_fmts by upscaling chroma.

     Fixes ticket #878.

Carl could you have a look at that code, I've been up quite a while now 
and am about ready to call it a night.

I'll have a look at it tomorrow, if someone hasn't come up with 
something by then.

Regards,
