calling start() on an already playing instance crashes application

[avilleret]

it crashes with a weird backtrace :

Thread 11 "video_player-ar" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x68809140 (LWP 2949)]

Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

code to reproduce (modified example-basic setup() function) :

  string videoPath = ofToDataPath("/home/pi/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov", true);
  ofLog() << "videoPath: " << videoPath;
  //Somewhat like ofFboSettings we may have a lot of options so this is the current model
  ofxOMXPlayerSettings settings;
  settings.useHDMIForAudio = true;	//default true
  settings.enableTexture = true;		//default true
  settings.enableLooping = true;		//default true
  settings.enableAudio = true;		//default true, save resources by disabling
  settings.doFlipTexture = true;		//default false
	
  //so either pass in the settings
  omxPlayer.setup(settings);

  omxPlayer.loadMovie(videoPath);
  omxPlayer.start();

Yeah - I can see how this could get confusing

if you want to use start() you should use:

settings.autoStart=false;
settings.videoPath = videoPath;
omxPlayer.setup(settings);
omxPlayer.start();
