[Libav-user] Reuse of format context after free and reallocate?

[william keeling]

I have not used "valgrind" I will need to look into that tool.  any tips on how to use it?

yes, I am free the all contexts before reallocation but I cannot find a way to for the FLVContext/Muxer to be freed/reinitialized thru the API.
I am doing the following:

avcodec_free_context() of all streams video and audio

avformat_free_context()

avio_close()

 I did some digging and found the error is coming from this code in flvenv.c line 921.

  if (pkt->dts < -flv->delay) {

               "Packets are not in the proper order with respect to DTS\n");
        return AVERROR(EINVAL);

flv is a pointer to  FLVContext from AVFormatContext->priv_data.

Looks like the avformat_write_header()/avformat_init_output uses the state of the muxer at the last run even if the AVFormatContext has been freed and reallocated.
So how do I get the FLVContext to be initlized as if a fresh run. Or how do I free the old FLVContext so when avformat_write_header() initlizes the priv_data it is fresh.

I have a program the creates flash format stream and is work the first time thru but when I process the second stream, I get DTS/PTS non monotonically errors.

After each stream I free and reallocate all contexts:

avcodec_free_context() of all streams video and audio

avformat_free_context()

avio_close()



What am I missing so the format context can be reallocate and used?

Looks like to be real bug to me.




Thanks William
