Kdenlive does not load my project any more ...

Hi everybody !

I have a serious problem with my Kdenlive Version 0.7.3 Using KDE 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) on my Ubuntu 9.04
(Kdenlive is taken from Kdenlive repository).

I create a large project of something like 450 videos and, after Kdenlive crashed while I was editing my project,
it cannot be loaded again into Kdenlive. I'm in a desperate situation, I cannot continue developing my
project and all my work may be lost.

I fixed broken projects several times before by manually removing bad producers from my project,
but now I canot even fugure out which of my 450 videos causes the problem.

Is it possible to get some additional diagnostics at least to try to find out what is wrong ?

I'll maybe set all up and build Kdenlive from sources, but this will take long, as kdenlive is
not that simple software.

I think there is no reason to post this as a bug, as they will not be able to reproduce it,
as the project is huge.

I whould be glad for any help.

Thank you.

Re: Kdenlive does not load my project any more ...

My problem has been solved, the case may be closed.

It seems there was a problem with disk. After automatic re-indexing or whatever of the disk
afer next reboot the project is read. Nethetheless, I'm still interested in some way of understanding in details what Kdenlive does during project loading. Is there some log or jornal ?

Re: Kdenlive does not load my project any more ...

I'm sorry for my previous post, I just was so happy seeing my project again in Kdenlive ...

Actually, what happens is Kdenlive occasionally loads my project, but this happens rare.

So the problem still exists.

I'va re-installed Kdenlive from the Ubuntu repository and my project opened once, then the situation
repeated.

I think I have to build Kdenlive from the latest sources.

I'll try to inform of the problem.

Re: Kdenlive does not load my project any more ...

Is it possible to split a project to two peaces ?
By hand or with help of some tool ?

Is there a DTD/Schema form KDENLive projects ?

Re: Kdenlive does not load my project any more ...

There is a DTD for the MLT part of the XML, it is named mlt-xml.dtd. However, kdenlive adds elements and does not use namespaces. In any case, I do not think the DTD will help much. You can carefully edit the project file in a text editor and then check that is is well-formed XML using xmllint at the command line.

Since the last MLT release, I fixed some race conditions in the SDL plugin. In particular, I discovered them while suffering crashes when loading a project file in Kdenlive. This coincided with my switch from a dual core to a quad core system. It seems the increase parallelism aggravated the race conditions. However, I can not say from your backtrace that you are hitting the same problem. Your segfault is occurring somewhere in kdenlive/kde/qt.

Re: Kdenlive does not load my project any more ...

Thank you for responce.

I also suspect some races, as sometimes (!) it loads (but very rare).

Maybe I should try limiting KdenLive to only one CPU (I have a dual-cored PC).

And what about DTD - I wanted to split my project to two or more parts.
DTD could have helped.

Re: Kdenlive does not load my project any more ...

Hello,

I think I have a similar problem:
my kdenlive project contains many videos/images/sounds/effects. The rendering video is about 10 minutes long.
I had no problem (just few crashes) during the creation phase of my movie.

I looked the generated movie and few days after, I just wanted to add some missing titles to complete the video...
And then I don't know what was the problem, I had a crash and since that one, I cannot open this project anymore (but I still can open some others old projects). Kdenlive tries to load clips and so on and crashes at 67% in progress bar...

I tried to remove in the .kdenlive file, the titles I added, without success! Kdenlilve still crashes when loading the project, at 67% in the progress bar...

Here is the "no use" backtrace: :-/ (I installed Kdenlive debug package, but it seems to be unuseful)

___________________________________________________________________
A Fatal Error Occurred
The application Kdenlive (kdenlive) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

Re: Kdenlive does not load my project any more ...

I have managed to fix this in my project by building from the latest sources from the SVN repository and debugging.

The problem was in my project XML data, in one of my transitions.

I had

4 5 fezzik transition luma 1 0 0 0 5 6 fezzik transition luma 1 0 1 0 1 ]]>

In "transition36" b_track was 6, which referenced to a wrong track, I had only 5 tracks.

As a workaround, I changed

5 6 ]]>

to

5 4 ]]>

and now the project can be loaded.

Unfortunately, it is obvious that the problem was in the code which generated this wrong transition, not in the code mentioned in the stack backtrace (although there could have been some check for list bounds in this code).

(I don't know how to format XML here in the post, so I atach the diff of old and corrected files.)

SpatMan, I don't think this is the same problem, only symptoms are same.
Your crash is within MLT.
