[vlc-devel] segmentation fault in plugin xvideo (libvlc call)

[Gilles Sabourin]

Hello team,


I am currently trying to investigate on freetuxtv , a small application based 
on libvlc which purpose is to view TV channels from Free.

Eric Beuque's homepage project is at : http://code.google.com/p/freetuxtv/

This application used to work great until vlc 0.9.8a. Now I am testing it with 
vlc from git repository.

Since 2 weeks, we got a segmentation fault in plugin xvideo which Eric and I 
don't understand. As his application is small, this could be considered as a 
test case.

Below are the backtraces, from libvlc call.The warning message :
[0x8a4a90] main libvlc error: option width does not refer to an int
appeared this evening for the first time.

Best regards,
Gilles Sabourin
