[vlc-devel] "equalizer-bands" corrupt/truncated occasionally

[akash mehrotra]

I'm trying to access the equalizer from the luahttp interface as a part of
my GSoC project.
For this, I'm accessing the equalizer-bands string and parsing the gain
values from that string in the interface code.

However, the string is corrupted/truncated sometimes when the equalizer is
modified using the Qt interface.
The linked screen shot ( http://i.imgur.com/qeCT7.png )displays the string
and its hex value when the string is modified through the Qt interface (from
extended_panels.cpp)

I'm using this code to print the string(the part indented to the extreme
left is the code I added for printing out the string) from
modules/gui/qt4/components/extended_panels.cpp   :

void Equalizer::setCoreBands()
{
    /**\todo smoothing */

    QString values;
    for( int i = 0; i < BANDS; i++ )
    {
        const float f_val = (float)( bands[i]->value() ) / 10 - 20;
        QString val = QString("%1").arg( f_val, 5, 'f', 1 );
        printf("%d\n",bands[i]->value()/10-20);
        band_texts[i]->setText( band_frequencies[i] + "\n" + val + "dB" );
        values += " " + val;
    }
    const char *psz_values = values.toAscii().constData();

    aout_instance_t *p_aout = THEMIM->getAout();
    if( p_aout )
    {
        //delCallbacks( p_aout );
        var_SetString( p_aout, "equalizer-bands", psz_values );
int i=0;
while(psz_values[i]!='\0' && i<=100)
printf("%02x",psz_values[i++]);
printf("\n%s\n",psz_values);
        //addCallbacks( p_aout );
        vlc_object_release( p_aout );
    }
}




Is this fixable, or should I workaround this assuming that the values of the
last 3 bands may not always be available.
