Error thumbnailing AVI files. about ffmpegthumbnailer HOT 9 CLOSED

It would indeed be nice if you could send me a small sample so I could 
reproduce (and
hopefully fix) the problem.

I have the exact same problem.  It's only an issue with some of the files.  
Here is
what it looks like when the problem occurs:

ffmpegthumbnailer -i Gankutsuou\ -\ 00.avi -o thumbnail.png
PIX_FMT_YUV420P will be used as an intermediate format for rescaling            


linesize 672                                                                    


linesize -672                                                                   


Segmentation fault

I'm using ffmpegthumbnailer 1.1.4 (and ffmpeg version 20070206 in case that 
matters).
 The distribution is CRUX, but it also happens in Arch Linux on my laptop.

I'll email you with a link to the file I've tried above so you can hopefully
reproduce the behavior.

I can reproduce the problem, but the crash occurs inside an api call of ffmpeg. 
So I
think the problem is in the swscale library. 

Thanks for the explanation.

Hi,
    I have the same problem using mediatomb on ubuntu. Does anyone have a version
list for when the thumbnailer works. i.e ffmpeg versiom swscale version etc..

Has it been reported upstream?

I have all the required info to report the issue (gdb stack trace, ...) but I 
still
haven't come to do it. I hope to do it sometime this week.

I just submitted a bug on the ffmpeg bugtracker. Let's hope they fix it...

Fixed in version 1.2.5, the ffmpeg guys helped me out with the crash.
