[PATCH] use newer dll name
by Roger Pack 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

For some reason on windows the dll name these days is almost always libdvdcss-2.dll instead of libdvdcss.dll (gstreamer, xbmc, etc.) This patch seems to work, and would make it to match, which seems better from my vantage. -roger-

assertion failure with certain DVD's
by Roger Pack 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Hello all. I get the following assertion playing the "Tangled" DVD with mplayer and an up to date libdvdnav, on windows: Assertion failed: (vm->state).pgc->cell_playback[(vm->state).cellN - 1].block_mode != 0, file libdvdnav/vm/vm.c, line 1141 The weird part about this is that in mac/linux, I get this error message, and no failed assertion, and playing continues: libdvdnav: Invalid angle block I'd be happy to send more information, or a (legal) DVD to keep, for any developer that would like to tackle it. It appears that it happens with a few other (Disney?) DVD's, as well: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2008-December/075458.html https://trac.handbrake.fr/ticket/125 https://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14189 So I'm guessing it's a libdvdnav bug. As a note, in VLC on windows, this causes playback to "loop" over - cellN=2 over and over, though it doesn't crash--I'm guessing it just swallows the assertion failure, or the failure isn't enabled with that build. Thanks. -roger-

[PATCH] fix dvdnav.h comment

I believe dvdnav_time_search *is* implemented, just somewhat inaccurately, so patch attempts to update comment in this regard. Thanks. -roger-

[PATCH] "dvdnav_jump_to_sector" as an alternative to "dvdnav_time_search" (REV 5: combined args to structs)
by gnosygnu 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

This revision includes the following changes: 1) combined multiple arguments into structures (See dvdnav_pos_data_t, dvdnav_cell_data_t, dvdnav_jump_args_t) 2) changed multi-line statements to remove leading commas 3) removed tabs/trailing whitespace 4) replaced "discontinuity tmap indexes" approach with simpler "use entry sector of current cell" to handle DVDs with initial dummy cells. Thanks to all who have read through the patch and/or offered comments. As far as I know, there are no other known pending changes/requests. I am hoping that this patch is at a near-final state. Please let me know what else should be done to get this patch accepted. Thanks.

[PATCH] Fix out of array pointer access
by Bryce Harrington 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

This patch fixes a segmentation fault hit when reading the DVD 'The Express'. It prevents a read/write beyond end of an array due to using a length value taken from the DVD, which can exceed the allocated size. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvdread/+bug/894170 The patch was originally written by rickyrockrat (sorry, I don't have his email address) for 4.1.3. I got the DVD and reproduced the segfault using 4.2.0 and verified the patch stops the segfault from happening. We're not confident this is the best fix though, so are posting it here for review.

[PATCH] fix C++ compatibility broken in r1208
by Anssi Hannula 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Revision 1208 ("Add dvdnav_program_play & dvdnav_current_title_program") added dvdnav_program_play function to dvdnav.h. However, unlike the other API functions, its first parameter is named 'this' instead of 'self'. 'this' is a C++ keyword and prevents compilation of C++ projects using libdvdnav. Restore C++ compatibility by renaming the parameter to 'self' like in the other functions. -- Anssi Hannula

[PATCH] Make sure we get nav packets for all cells in multi angle
by Joakim Plate 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Hi, This is a resend of an old patch that we still keep in xbmc's version of libdvdnav. The problem is that libdvdnav jumps over NAV packets when playing multi angle features. I don't remember all the exact details on this patch anymore since it was many years since i tracked it down. But it is very obvious in xbmc since we use nav packet end/start times to correct timestamps. Without the patch we git gaps in nav packets that doesn's exist in the streams. I think i still have a dvd sample that shows the issue. /Joakim

[PATCH] consuming all memory when scanning dvd "Up"
by John Stebbins 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

First a disclaimer. This is a big invasive patch. If you don't like it, my feelings won't be hurt. I will be using it in HandBrake. So if you see problems with it, please let me know. Many dvd's are showing up that have titles that have numerous repeated language unit tables and pgc's. The new release "Up" is an example. I believe "Dark Knight" also exhibits this. When scanning such discs with lsdvd (and other programs that scan all titles), libdvdread will consume many GB of data for these repeated elements and gets very slow (e.g hours to read all titles) on OS X due to reading the duplicate data from uncached raw devices. This patch detects duplicates and reference counts pgc's and pgcit's. When a duplicate is detected, a reference count is incremented instead of allocating new memory and re-reading the data. I opted for reference counting instead of simply returning a failure on duplicate detection because it is perfectly valid to have a title with such duplicates. I could easily imagine titles adding duplicates, then navigating around them.
