Looking at mpegrecorder.cpp:
{{{
1113 LOG(VB_RECORD, LOG_INFO, LOC + "run finishing up");
1114
1115 StopEncoding();
1116
1117 {
1118 QMutexLocker locker(&pauseLock);
1119 request_helper = false;
1120 }
1121
1122 if (vbi_thread)
1123 {
1124 vbi_thread->wait();
1125 delete vbi_thread;
1126 vbi_thread = NULL;
1127 CloseVBIDevice();
1128 }
1129
1130 FinishRecording();
}}}
Line 1119 signals the vbi thread to stop reading and exit, however, the
encoder is signaled to stop *before* this on line 1115. Thus it is
possible for the vbi thread to return from select, try to read data from
the vbi fd and then block on the read because the vbi fd is no longer
returning data (has been stopped).
Simple solution seems to be to swap the order, i.e. signal vbi thread to
stop reading before stopping the encoder. I have no idea if there are any
unforeseen consequences to this though..... comments?
