But when running it crashes with a segmentation fault. After some testing I found the place responsible for this crash: > mpeg2dec.c, Line 571: > \`for (l=0;l \< is-\>audio\_st-\>codecpar-\>channels;l++ ) volume += \*((fb\[l\])++) \* 64000;\` > > When commenting this line out (or when always evaluating the if statement in Line 570 to false), the program is running fine and even finding commercials without a problem. > > Is this an issue caused by your changes or a different problem? Any ideas what could be the reason for it? ---
