compiling and running avidemux 2.5.5 on arm - Illegal instruction

[KlausDieter]

Hello everyone,

this is my first post in this forum. I recently compiled avidemux 2.5.5 on my arm box with two minor patches:

• I did add "#define FPM_ARM" in two places where the compiler yelled at me because it was not defined
• I did apply the  patch from this Bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=657885

The compile runs smoothly so I thought it would be time to avidemux to some good use. However when I try to do so I get:

Illegal instruction


Illegal instruction. This looks like something got compiled using the wrong mcpu or march.
Grepping in the built tree I can find a couple of mcpu=armv4t in the ffmpeg tree while this is a armv5te host.

Now I have a couple of questions:

• Am I on the right track assuming that this is actually ffmpegs fault?
• Is there a clean set of patches I could try to get avidemux to build properly on my arm box?

Any help in getting avidemux to run on my arm box is greatly appreciated.

[mean]

It would be better to try with the 2.6.x branch
I had it almost/mostly running on a marvell powered chip

[KlausDieter]

Hi Mean,

This is a Marvell Chip having the armv5te architecture.

I am hoping to cut video data using without reencoding it on the arm box. Won't I lose frame accuracy when cutting using 2.6 instead of 2.5?

I had tried with 2.6.4 but I got strange errors as well. Since 2.6.5 is out I will re-try using the most recent version.
I am currently trying to compile 2.6 with a minor patch:
I manually defined FPM_ARM in avidemux_plugins/ADM_audioDecoders/ADM_ad_mad/ADM_libMad/fixed.h

Not sure whether the build system should actually do this.

Edit:
I also needed to define FPM_ARM in avidemux_plugins/ADM_audioDecoders/ADM_ad_mad/ADM_libMad/mad.h
however something with the setup of the plugins went wrong so I am rebuilding with a vanilla bootStrap.bash

Edit2:
The build using the vanilla bootStrap.bash worked fine however now I am stuck as I am trying to run a script from avidemux 2.5
That is why I am building avidemux now on my x86-64 machine as well to obtain a sample js-file that I could use to adapt the old 2.5 scripts.

fyi: this is my script:

I converted the js script knowing that python is the preferred way now but I can migrate when I know avidemux is working properly on arm.

This is my script now:

Unfortunately avidemux stops processing the file without generating any output data.
The log is rather large so I posted it here: http://kdserv.dyndns.org/pastebin/avidemux3-output.txt

To cross-reference whether this is an arm issue or not I ran the same js-script on my x86 box and avidemux 2.6.5.
No output was created there either.

What might be the cause of no output file  appearing?

[mean]

The segment reference is in microseconds,not in frame
(and it must be exactly the right value)

[KlausDieter]

ok, so I still have to convert the frames to microseconds That is a point I have to take up in the script in order to get the correct cuts.
I noticed however that when I use the --save parameter on the commandline instead of the js I can produce output on my x86 system. On my arm-system however avidemux crashes with that log http://kdserv.dyndns.org/pastebin/avidemux3-output-save.txt

I am assuming that this is not due to the fact that I was wrongly using frames instead of microseconds but a different issue that might be due to the fact that this is arm as it does not happen on x86.
If needed I can run avidemux from gdb but I would only do it if it leads to new information. Please advise for the next step.

That crash seems to be  caused by invalid timestamps (not sure)
If you do just load foobar.avi/save foobar.avi does it work well ?

I assume you are using the cli version on arm ?

[KlausDieter]

yeah, this is the cli version on arm.

this is how I run avidemux:

Code Select Expand


avidemux3_cli --nogui --run project.js --save /mnt/data/temp/multicuttest/cut/Battlestar_Galactica_13.06.27_22-15_tele5_60_TVOON_DE.mpg.HQ.avi-cut.avi


as per your suggestion I ran

Code Select Expand


avidemux3_cli --nogui --load /mnt/data/temp/multicuttest/Battlestar_Galactica_13.06.27_22-15_tele5_60_TVOON_DE.mpg.HQ.avi --save /mnt/data/temp/multicuttest/cut/Battlestar_Galactica_13.06.27_22-15_tele5_60_TVOON_DE.mpg.HQ.avi-cut.avi


this produces an output file having roughly the same size so it seems like avidemux is actually working on arm, which is great news! 

However even when using the save option inside a script there is no output generated (logfile: http://kdserv.dyndns.org/pastebin/avidemux-onlyloadandsave.txt )
This is the script that I used:

Code Select Expand


  //AD
  adm.loadVideo("/mnt/data/temp/multicuttest/Battlestar_Galactica_13.06.27_22-15_tele5_60_TVOON_DE.mpg.HQ.avi");                                                                                                                                               
  adm.videoCodec("Copy");                                                                                                                     
  adm.audioCodec("copy");                                                                                                                     
  adm.setContainer("AVI", "odmlType=1");                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
  adm.save("/mnt/data/temp/multicuttest/cut/Battlestar_Galactica_13.06.27_22-15_tele5_60_TVOON_DE.mpg.HQ.avi-cut.avi");     

[KlausDieter]

now I tried on my x86 box (as it is faster and I actually have local access) to cut the input movie.
However avidemux complains that it cannot find a frame at the specific time interval
The video data has 25fps. I would like to cut at frame 56117 with a duration of 29964 frames.

So I came up with the following times in microseconds:

Code Select Expand

Start=2244680000
Duration=1198560000

avidemux now tells me:

Code Select Expand

[addSegment]  Adding a new segment
  [TimeToFrame]  We reached frame 56118 with a PTS of 2244719872 when looking for PTS 2244680000
  [dtsFromPts]  Cannot get frame with pts=2244680 ms

Allright I thought, lets try tocut one frame later and I entered 2244719872 as a time value in my script.

Code Select Expand

echo "2244719872*25/1000000"|bc -l
56117.99680000000000000000

even though this is not where the frame should be.
That means I am using this js:

Code Select Expand


//AD
adm.loadVideo("/home/erika/nobackup/cut/uncut/bla.avi");
adm.clearSegments();
adm.addSegment(0,433520000,1424560000);
adm.addSegment(0,2244719872,1198560000);
adm.addSegment(0,3762880000,2454760000);
adm.videoCodec("Copy");
adm.audioCodec("copy");
adm.setContainer("AVI", "odmlType=1");
adm.save("/home/erika/nobackup/cut/blub.avi");


However avidemux3_cli yells at me:

It seems the file might be broken or the file cannot be processed by the copy.
Out of curiosity I tried encoding the result with mpeg4. This works but is not an option on my arm machine. I need some smart copy functionality that if encoding is needed limits that to small areas of the video.
What should I do?

[KlausDieter]

today I felt lucky and put the avi file into a mkv container before processing it with avidemux.
Now there were no changes necessary for the timing.

However I still get the below error and no video output.
What can I do to work around this?

with the following project.js the error is different:

adm.loadVideo("/home/erika/nobackup/Der_rosarote_Panther_13.08.13_22-05_sixx_95_TVOON_DE.mpg.avi.mkv");

adm.videoCodec("Copy", "CQ=4");
adm.audioCodec("copy");
adm.setContainer("MKV", "odmlType=1");

this time I cannot see an error at all, just a crash:
http://kdserv.dyndns.org/pastebin/avidemux-crash-smartcopy.txt

[mean]

do you compute the timestamps or extract the ones given by avidemux project ?
Computing the timestamps does not work as there is no simple rule such as time=frameno*timebase

[KlausDieter]

well that might be the issue then.
This is actually a file by onlinetvrecorder.com and I am trying to cut it using the data from a cutlist.
In there is a timestamp as well as a frame number.

All my previous tries used the timestamp from the cutlist that is calculated by the rule: time = frameno * timebase.
Since you say that rule does not apply I guess I will need a different approach. Assuming the frame number is the correct point to cut, how would I calculate the correct timestamp using avidemux?

[KlausDieter]

actually, this is probably not the problem.
Yes, the timing might be off but even when selecting the times in avidemux3_qt I get the given crash.

please findbelow the log and the js.

My guess is that your editing does not contain any keyframe at start.
It is not handled very gracefully as of now
