Problem with media servers

Help

Since a few nihghtlies ago, I’ve been experiencing a problem with the media server, in which as soon as I play some audio or video it crashes.
Here it’s the report:

Can you please file a bug report on haiku-os.org? This is the official way to report a bug, Thanks!

I added this debugger call some time ago, in the hope that it would help me to identify some underlying problems, it’s the first time I know a machine experience this specific problem. It would be useful to keep track of how it evolves on your machine. Unfortunately I can’t replicate all issues with my hardware, but as AndrewZ suggested please fill a bug report and thanks for reporting.

Okay, i created the report at the bug tracker
Also, I found out it’s cause by a hardware conflict with my Firewire PCI card

The bug not fixed? I have similar issue:

A while ago I replaced MB (to MSI 880GMA-E55), and new have FireWire. After system starts, media addon crashes, but when media services restarted again all seem working ok (with playing audio).

Is it my problem related to:
https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/12448
?

And occurs that MediaPlayer crashing media addons only when I played before something from another partition (I tryed ext4 partition and fat32 on stick). Even without rebooting some times. Strange things…

…And if file was played from another partition by MediaPlayer and closed, and then MediaPlayer started again (even after Haiku restart) occurs:

That last error message is because MediaHlayer always tries to resume playback from where it was when you quitted it. This does not work when the disk is not mounted anymore, but we should probably silence that error in this case.

Yes, as you can read below in the ticket you have to blacklist the firewire driver.

I disabled firewire in BIOS.

Even better. Since I found the cause of this bug I considered removing this driver from build. It’d better to move it to an optional package, but I’m not sure how many people really use it. On the other hand I can’t debug it since I don’t have such a platform…

So expect it to be removed from build in one of the next hrevs.

11

Can I provide you with some info needed for debugging? Can I debug driver with your guidance?
Can it be done? Is it very complicated?
…But I realised that seem I do not have any FireWire equipment to plug in…

12

Could we fix it? Shouldn’t the driver leave the media server alone when there are no devices plugged on the firewire port anyways?

13

I’m very clear about my position on the project, so I’m not going to do this.

I wonder if there’s a single device that work on this driver. In any case doesn’t seem like a good idea to include it in the beta.
