Crashes with video

(1/3) > >>

Hello,

I'm trying MC28 on an M1 Macbook Pro.  It crashes when playing video when I resize the window.  I've only tested short clips like the trailer for I Am Legend (it's a demo video for H.264).

My M1 is connected to a DisplayLink enabled dock.  So it's using two software driven monitors from this Dock.  However, it does the same thing when I use MC28 on the built in laptop display.  So it may or may not be related to the DisplayLink dock/monitors.

Log file attached.

Thanks for looking,
Brian.

I did a little further testing:

Unplugged the dock entirely and ran the test only on the laptop screen.  Still crashes when resizing.
Then I got the idea that the software "Displaylink Manager", which allows the external screens to work, might be the problem.  So I quit that application and then tried again.  Unfortunately this didn't change anything; still crashes when resizing while playing video.

Initially I thought that lots of operations were crashing it, like opening playlists and things.  But I didn't document or reproduce this, so I'll keep my eye out and report back if I find other behaviors that reliably crash MC28 on M1 hardware.

I'm running the latest build, which is 28.0.46 (silicon) right now.

Thanks,
Brian.

Can you post the Apple crash report as well?
(I need to talk to Bob again about including it in the log package)

For video specifically, we're working on some big changes to improve the experience overall. But if crashes happen independent of that, definitely also report those

Would you try the latest build? 28.0.48.
I made some experimental internal UI changes in it.
It also adds more logging in this area that could be useful if it still crashes. Thanks.

Man, I'm so sorry I forgot to do this until just now.  Attached is the OS crash report.

Thanks,
Brian.
