Crash on loading a project

Hello

I am discouraged after one week working on my first project. I used to save it on one project file and everything was ok. I even started to render some great results. But today, I saved it under a different file name to configure it to a different output scheme (720p to HD 1080p).

It crashed down on this second version, I was horrified when seeing that none of the versions can be opened now by kdenlive... !!

I deleted the configure file (.kde/share/config/kdenliverc), but still cant open my project file. Doing the job again from scratch is just heartbreaking me.

Old version console history:

Re: Crash on loading a project

Could you please provide more information about your system and versions of programs. what version of kdenlive and mlt? How was it installed? was it upgraded from a prior version? OS version? File type you are using as input? Any other special circumstances. The more the better. With this information someone might have some ideas on how to help. Thanks.

Re: Crash on loading a project

I'm using

Ubuntu 10.04
kdenlive 0.7.8 (kde platform 4.4.5), not upgraded from a previous version
installed via ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/kdenlive-release/ubuntu

My project is mainly based on high-resolution photos (doing a diaporama) with a two wav soundtracks, plus one piece of small video somewhere.

Special circumtances:

as I said, i was used to saving this project under a file name (let say project1) at one location and everything was doing good since one week. Yesterday, willing to change the configure to a higher resolution (HD 1080p), I saved it under a different file name (project2), BUT at the same location (is this a problem ? shared file and rep ?). And started to work with it. It went good during a few hours, save/edit loop that new project, render it etc. But never closed it.

At that point, I had a power shortcut. When restarting, kdenlive refused to open project2 ("end of file unexpected"). I opened again project1, saved it again to project3, reconfigured it to 1080p HD, saved, closed.

As I wanted to do quality benchmarks on a smaller timelined project, I reopened project3 and saved it to project3_cut. And started to delete in the timeline everything after 10th seconds in it. A problem appeared doing that, kdenlive refused to delete from the timeline 2 or 3 three clip (photo and pieces of sound) among the around 50 elements that were in the timeline after 10th seconds..

Doing that quite quickly (suppr key repetedly), I figured that maybe kdenlive did indeed deleted it, but still printing these 2/3 pieces on the timeline, he didnot know quite to do. So I closed the project, hoping that it will "refresh" somehow when opening it again.

And there, at that point, kdenlive refused to open all my projects, project3_cut (crashes), project3 (crashes) and project1 (crashes).

Thanks a lot
Bob

Re: Crash on loading a project

Hi again

The verbose when loading project1 is now a little bit different/shorter:

Re: Crash on loading a project

I assume you've re-booted? What do you mean by power shortcut?

I can tell you that I use kdenlive/mlt svn versions on Fedora 14 and it is very stable. Maybe the Ubuntu version is a little too old and/or something wrong with your repository package?

You might also want to try filing a bug report and getting a full backtrace.

Sorry - I've got no good ideas.

Re: Crash on loading a project

Can you play any of the projects with 'melt' in a terminal window?

Re: Crash on loading a project

Thanks for your answers.

It plays quite well with melt (sound is a little jitty sometimes)
except near the end (where the small piece of video starts) where it displays in the terminal:

[h264 @ 0xa4617d80]B picture before any references, skipping
[h264 @ 0xa4617d80]decode_slice_header error
[h264 @ 0xa4617d80]no frame!

[h264 @ 0xa4617d80]decode_slice_header error
[h264 @ 0xa4617d80]no frame!

However, the small piece of video plays though, it doesnt crash and then continue till the end of the project.

Try turning off the thumbnailing in Kdenlive Settings, restart Kdenlive, and then try loading a project.

Re: Crash on loading a project

Hello, I'm having the same problem. Ubuntu 12.04 amd64, Kdenlive 0.9.4 Sunab Release (and 0.9.5 Sunab SVN as well) repositories. It happens with my very large project I'm working on. It takes 8 minutes to load an old version (fortunately I save and rename every step I do) but the new version crashes at the end of the 8 minutes.
If I put *anything* in a specific place of the timeline (around 41:25:00) and I save it, then it crashes when I open it. If I leave a piece blank or I leave everything like it was, it loads. I can add anything before and after, but not in that specific place: it will cause a crash.
This is really a strange behaviour, it's probably related to some corruption, somewhere... but, really, I don't know what to do.

Re: Crash on loading a project

A very strange behaviour:

I tried to load the file into old 0.8.x Kdenlive and it doesn't crash. But it eliminates everything I have on the top track (Video 1) and puts some random clips at the end of the timeline.
I imported the saved file into Kdenlive 0.9.4 and put back the clips where they have to be (it took me one whole day).

The strange thing is that, only from minute 00:41:01 to the end, I can do anything I want on the project, I save and it doesn't crash, but only if I do it on *one* track only. I can put a clip on Video1, than one on video 2, but if I put a clip on video1 AND a clip on video2, or even an audio track to dub or to add music, I save it and then I open, and it crashes!

Looks like Kdenlive did something nasty with the track count; it cant't manage more than one track at the same time.

Now I'll try to delete everything from minute 41 to the end, and then keep this as "Part I". Then I will try to cut everything before minute 41 and keep the rest as "Part 2".

I'm working on a professional film and this is screwing all my job. That's a nightmare. Any suggestion?

Could you provide a backtrace? Install the kdenlive-dbg and libmlt-dbg packages and see the last paragraph of http://kdenlive.org/bug-reports for instructions.

Re: Crash on loading a project

Ok, I'm going to do it. In the meanwhile: last night I tried to split the project. If I erase the last part of the project (more or less 5 minutes, only one day of work) and then I save it, everything works perfectly. If I delete everything but the "new" part, and bring it to the beginning, and then save it, when I open it, it crashes the same.
So last night I re-did the one-day job starting from the working "part I" and now I'm back to work. Everything's good, it looks like, at least. :-)

Anyway I'm going to file the bug, mostly for curiosity.
I bet something happened in the new version of MLT: I noticed that some "composite" + "pan&zoom" transitions have been replaced by an "affine" transition, not available days ago. Some remained like before, some became "Affine". Very strange.

Re: Crash on loading a project

SOLVED. I was filing the bug when this came out: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdenlive.git&a=commit&h=53bd5bb0ca9e46a9798d0...
Applied this git, took off some troubled clips in troubled areas, put back in, and now it works. Some clips and images had metadata, and those metadata corrupted the file.
