[vlc-devel] libvlc_input_get_length crashes

[Amaresh Ram]

Rafaël,

Testcase steps are:

1. Create New vlc instance (using libvlc_new )
      p_vlc = libvlc_new(0, NULL, NULL);
2. Add a url to playlist (using libvlc_playlist_add)
      item_id = libvlc_playlist_add(p_vlc, uri, NULL, NULL);
3. play the last added item (using libvlc_playlist_play)
      libvlc_playlist_play(p_vlc, item_id, 0, NULL, NULL);
4. get the input that is currently being played (using
libvlc_playlist_get_input)
      p_input = libvlc_playlist_get_input( p_vlc, NULL);
5. get input length (using libvlc_input_get_length)
      in_lenght = libvlc_input_get_length(p_input, NULL);

At step 5, application crashes with segmentation fault.

input length needs to be notified to application so that it can change the
UI control on expiry of input length timer.

Do you happen to have a backtrace ? With a full testcase would be
perfect ;)
