Bug ID: 35770 Summary: Contacam Surveillance Software Crashing at Random Product: Wine Version: 1.4.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: msvfw32 Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: isaacemch@gmail.com
Created attachment 47763 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=47763 Contacam surveillance software crashing (msvfw32)
I'm running Contacam (video surveillance software -from contaware.com) with WINE 1.4.1, and the application is crashing at random intervals. Sometimes 6 minutes, sometimes 6 hours, and everything in between.
The error log seems to be pointing to msvfw32 as the culprit, but I'm not absolutely sure.
I think this only happens when I run the application to record upon detection. When I have all camera detections set to off (monitor only) the system does not crash. It seems that when (maybe) contacam detects motion and then starts recording to disc, the crash occurs.
This doesn't happen on every detection though. ContaCam will detect some movements, and record them to disk just fine, but after a (seemingly) random amount of time later, the application crashes, showing the attached log.
I am not completely sure what is going on here and why. My clues are that msvfw32 (seems) to be a 16bit video compression DLL. My question to this finding would be: "What would make the video compression fail?" I wonder if I do not have my WINE environment setup properly. I have made sure to install the 32bit configuration of WINE (I am running Ubuntu 13.10 x64) I am also not sure if it is a result of what folder I am having Contacam storing its images to. I am telling Contacam to store images to /var/www directory, but have allowed all permissions to this /var/www directory. Contacam is able to store videos to this location fine (most of the time at least). I wonder if permissions are being overridden to denied sometimes maybe. Maybe this has nothing to do with it though.
I'm hoping to get this app to not crash soon, because I need my surveillance system to be reliable.
Thanks, Isaac
