Hello,
after trying many workarounds I still get a strange bug using video_decode on my drone project using a rPi3. Because of the data transmission method I use, the decoder is oftenly fed with corrupted data, most of the time the result is just a choppy image, but for no apparent reason the decoder stops triggering EmptyBufferDone event.
Here is the code (workarounds I tried are still present) : https://github.com/dridri/OpenMaxIL-cpp ... e.cpp#L110 (fillInput() is called as soon as new data, containing a complete frame, is received)
Is there any way to enable verbose debug in IL and vcos ? 'vcdbg log msg' shows nothing about the problem when it occurs, nor 'dmesg'. I would like to enable every possible verbose loggings as the bug is really hard to reproduce.

Re: video_decode stalls when fed with corrupted data
You appear to be missing any code that sucks the data out of the decoder and does something with it.
The most likely reason for EmptyThisBuffer not resulting in EmptyBufferDone is that the internal FIFO of the codec is full so it can't process any more data. That would most likely be because you haven't serviced the output port in a timely manner - the codec will not drop frames so will just wait for output buffers. Most often I see that when people have assumed one buffer in, one buffer out, but that can easily be a false assumption (even the hello_encode example is making that assumption - ought to fix it at some point!). Are you actually framing the data before feeding it to the codec, or just feeding in a raw bitstream?
First suggestion is to add "start_debug=1" to /boot/config.txt. That should then enable asserts on the GPU, and you can read those with "sudo vcdbg log assert".
Codec logging is at two levels. "vcgencmd set_logging level=0xc0" is the verbose IL level. The codec is more likely to throw asserts than anything usable in the logging to those without firmware source, but "level=0xc" would turn on the codec logging instead. Be a little cautious in turning all logging on - it's logging to a circular buffer, so the useful information can get overwritten pretty fast if you turn on too much.

Re: video_decode stalls when fed with corrupted data
The output is directly tunneled into a video_render component, and it doesn't look like to be a FIFO overhead because there is no increase in the output latency (I suppose there should be lag if the buffer queue is full, no?). And yes, each time EmptyThisBuffer() is called, the buffer contains exactly one encoded frame (you can find the video_encode settings in the same repo in VideoEncode.cpp file).
Thank you for explaining debugging levels, I will give it a try

Re: video_decode stalls when fed with corrupted data
Looks like there is some kind of deadlock when looking at threads' backtraces (and as you can see most of the stack frames are broken) :
/opt/vc/bin/vcdbg log assert -f
/opt/vc/bin/vcdbg log msg -f
If you see anything relevant that can help me...
Edit: I just discovered that the top-right low power icon (yellow lightning) is continuously displayed (was hidden by HDMI overscan), can it be the cause of all of this ?
EDIT 2 : Okay I have a different bug now, my thread is not blocked, but the video_render frame is freezed (it seems that the video_decode does not output anything)
log msg is tatally different, :
Don't know if another backtrace can help :

1730639.836: video_render:27:RIL:return omx buffers:free 0Edit: I just discovered that the top-right low power icon (yellow lightning) is continuously displayed (was hidden by HDMI overscan), can it be the cause of all of this ?
EDIT 2 : Okay I have a different bug now, my thread is not blocked, but the video_render frame is freezed (it seems that the video_decode does not output anything)
log msg is tatally different, :

Re: video_decode stalls when fed with corrupted data
Low power isn't great. Typically the SoC itself will probably be happy enough (others have run their Pi on about 3V IIRC), but any USB peripherals are very likely to be getting unhappy.
Your first backtrace implies you're using OpenGLES - you hadn't mentioned that bit, and potentially may be affecting decode. It might be worth checking that you can reproduce the issue without GL in the mix, though I suspect it is a slightly deeper issue than that. The slew of asserts all match up with the end of the logging, so something has gone quite badly wrong in the buffer handling.
Is there any chance of you capturing one of the corrupt streams and posting it somewhere for analysis?

Re: video_decode stalls when fed with corrupted data
Yes I forgot to mention that there is an OpenGLES context running in another thread on one dispmanx layer above the video_render.
After disabling this GL thread (and all the others actually, letting only the decoder), the problem still remains. Each time, the "crash" has two possible results (but never both) :
- EmptyThisBuffer blocks and never returns (and the stack seems broken according to the stack traces)
- or the buffer's pBuffer pointer is completely messed, and contains a single-byte random value (I tried to store the initial pointer value then back it up in pBuffer when the value becomes broken, but it doesn't help). Then all the next calls to EmptyThisBuffer return 0x80001018
I can upload one of the streams, but I tried to play them using the exact same implementation (same code) but it ends normally without any crash..
I'm starting to think that my Pi just has got a severe problem somewhere else (considering that the "low-power" logo is visible, with a 6A power input..), I will give it a try with a brand new one.
Edit: is the MMAL implementation different enough from OMX one to expect it to bypass this bug ?
Edit2: just discovered that EmptyThisBuffer sometimes generate 0x80001009 (OMX_ErrorHardware), but with this one the decoder can continue working
Edit3(again): it looks like that totally reallocating the input buffer when pBuffer goes wrong does the trick, but I suppose that it will quickly bloat the VRAM even if I manually call vcos_free() on the allocated buffers that the decoder has lost..

Re: video_decode stalls when fed with corrupted data
So, sorry about this whole topic as it was irrelevant. I found the cause of all of this somewhere else: it looks like the combo MAX / MMAL + GLES + FBdev was the source.
I'm using a SPI TFT screen as a second display, and writing to it using a mmap'ed framebuffer on / dev / fb1, and for an obscure reason writing to it randomly causes all the process threads to stall. I'm now using a single write() call to fill the fbdev, and all my problems are just gone.
