Hello,
I'm occasionally seeing crashes in cDvbSubtitleConverter::Action(), example backtrace below. Unfortunately I don't have a reliable reproducer nor am I even sure if this happens on VDR startup or shutdown, but I think it's one of those, maybe the latter :)
Perhaps something like this would avoid it (guessing, haven't tried anything yet):
if (cDvbSubtitleBitmaps *sb = bitmaps->First()) {
if (cDevice::PrimaryDevice() && cDvbSubtitleBitmaps *sb =bitmaps->First()) {
A cDvbSubtitleConverter is only created for replay on the primary device. So when the primary device is destroyed when shutting down VDR, its destructor first deletes the dvbSubtitleConverter:
cDevice::~cDevice() { Detach(player); DetachAllReceivers(); delete liveSubtitle; delete dvbSubtitleConverter; }
The destructor of cDvbSubtitleConverter in turn does a Cancel(3), which stops its Action() loop. Are you getting any log messages that stopping the "subtitleConverter" thread didn't work?
Besides, the additional check you suggested wouldn't make any difference, because the static cDevice::primaryDevice pointer is never set back to NULL at shutdown. Maybe we should add
if (this == primaryDevice) primaryDevice = NULL;
at the end of cDevice::~cDevice(), but since shutting down the devices is pretty much the last thing done when leaving VDR I don't think this is going to make much of a difference.
