As mentioned in subject server 2.1.11 is crashing with Remove 1 File command

Steps to reproduce:

  1. add 1 File "abc.mov"
  2. Remove 1 File

This is a known problem with thee FFmpeg consumer on Windows, affecting REMOVE FILE and REMOVE STREAM ... or a sequence of 2 ADD FILEs or 2 ADD STREAMs. Through experiment, it has been shown that this can be avoided by compiling with /INCREMENTAL linking or by selecting a build type of ReleaseWithDbgInfo (which switches on incremental linking!).

It is not clear, after several days if analysis, what the route cause of the problem is. For those wanting CasparCG for SDI-only workflows, sticking with a Release build is probably the best option.

But server 2.3 isn't crashing with it

sparkpunkd commented

Yes. And we have done a line-by-line comparison of the code to look at the differences between the versions and not found an obvious reason. Not to say we didn't miss something?

2.2 and 2.3 use a newer compiler (vs2017/vs2019 vs vs2015), which is what we think the proper fix for this issue would be.
But we havent been able to justify the time (or risk) of using a newer compiler for an issue that has a simple workaround.

Ohh so it means we can't use record feature right now. I think for recording we should use Server 2.0.8

Hi,
Please fix this issue.
Also, updated cef version is in plan ?

Thanks

Hi @sirfnomi!

Due to that NRK isn't currently using the record-feature, will probably not spend resources for this fix ourselves. If you find a solution however, we would be happy to accept a Pull Request with the fix!

Regarding updating CEF; I can't give you an estimate as it has turned out the CEF update turned out to be a larger task.
