Hi,

I am trying to update our site copy of AreaDetector-ffmpegserver to use the latest versions of avcodec, ffmpeg, etc. The full draft patch I am using to do this is here: https://gist.github.com/daykin/3694c96bd9db8215c47abeec055360f3

When I access the MJPG server using UInt16 data type, everything runs fine. However, when I change the type to UInt8, I get segfaults and corrupted linked lists, caused by this section:

AVPacket pkt;

av_init_packet(&pkt);

pkt.data = "" // packet data will be allocated by the encoder

pkt.size = c->width * c->height;

int sts;

sts = avcodec_send_frame(c,scPicture); ####Fails here after 1-4 frames

char err[64];

if (sts) {

av_strerror(sts, err, 64*sizeof(char));

asynPrint(this->pasynUserSelf, ASYN_TRACE_ERROR,

"%s:%s: Encoding jpeg failed ... %d ... %s\n",

driverName, functionName, sts, err);

}

sts = avcodec_receive_packet(c, &pkt);

if (sts) {

av_strerror(sts, err, 64*sizeof(char));

asynPrint(this->pasynUserSelf, ASYN_TRACE_ERROR,

"%s:%s: Recv packet failed ... %d ... %s\n",

driverName, functionName, sts, err);

}

this->jpeg->dims[0].size = pkt.size;

this->jpeg->pData = pkt.data;

Valgrind output is as follows:
