| Summary | 0004528: crash after recording MIDI timecode to a midi track | ||||
| Description | i know it makes no sense in practise, this is just a test case, so read on: when i try to record midi timecode in an ardour midi track for about three minutes, ardour will crash soon after the transport is stopped, after being unresponsive for half a minute or so, apparently while doing janitorial tasks that have queued up while recording the midi data. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | connect a source of full-frame MTC to an ardour midi track and record. i used https://ltcsmpte.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ltcsmpte/libltcsmpte/trunk/. apart from libltcsmpte itself, you will have to build jtlc (which creates LTC on jack audio ports, depending on the JACK transport state), and ltc2amidi, which takes a jack audio input and will convert it to MTC in lsa midi. to connect this to a3, you will need a2jmidid :) sorry for the convoluted usecase... to make sure its not downstream congestion that triggers the bug, i disconnected the ardour MIDI track output. first try recording a few seconds of MTC. it will work, but you will notice it takes quite a while after you hit "STOP" before the midi region appears. if you zoom in, you will see the MTC full-frame sysexes in little yellow boxes. then record for three minutes. after stopping, ardour will barf with the messages quoted below. | ||||
| Additional Information | the console says this: MIDI 1-16.mid last write set to 512 Dropping incoming MIDI at time 27; offset=80 limit=256 drop flushed event on the floor, time 27 < 80 drop flushed event on the floor, time 27 < 80 Pango-ERROR **: Unable to open font file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf for font Arial 9.9990234375, exiting aborting... [1]+ Aborted ardour3 2012-Life_in_Technicolor_ii.ardour *.* it should be noted that ltc2amidi only creates full-frame MTC sysexes, 24 per second. full-fledged MTC includes additional quarter-frame messages, which were not part of this test scenario, but they might trigger the bug even earlier as they come a a vastly higher rate. | ||||

interesting. this time, after provoking the crash, ardour cannot start the session any more. it barfs with the same error. a post-mortem on the corefile indicates this: Core was generated by `/usr/local/lib/ardour3/ardour-3.0 2012-Life_in_Technicolor_ii.ardour'.

partly fixed for me as of 10875. the new option "never display periodic midi messages", which defaults to off, allows the problem session to be opened again. however, the pango crash can still be provoked by disabling it and zooming in afterwards - i guess this is to be expected, i'm just mentioning it for the record. |

update: paul, it's unlikely to be an out-of-memory situation like you wondered on IRC - i have 4g of ram, 3 of which are memlockable, and the crash occurs at less than 50% of system memory usage (unless there is a very short, very strong spike of memory allocation that does not show up in gnome-system-monitor). |
