Hollywood forums

Hello Andreas,
I'm trying to send commands to MPlayer for AROS using the ARexx port.

I've tryed small sample code, like the one below: MPlayer receives the command (and goes to fullscreen) but my Hollywood program crash and on the console is reported this error message:

Assertion (ptr->len <= ptr->max) failed in memory.c:824

After various tests I've got another error type: instead of memory.c:824 I've got arscmd.c:201

Finally I've tested the Arexx port using a script: then I've launched with:
rx myscript

MPlayer has received the fullscreen command without any errors...

Well, that assertion error doesn't come from Hollywood. Does it only crash when sending the FULLSCREEN command or does it crash with other commands, too?

I've tried "QUIT" and "EXIT" commands too, but with the same results... the strange thing is that if I send commands using arexx scripts all works fine, that's why I've suspected of an Hollywood bug.

If it's not an Hollywood problem I'll report this issue to AROS-Exec forums

Well, I always take those AROS bug reports with a grain of salt because AROS is still in alpha state. Of course I can't rule out that it is a Hollywood bug, but I think it's unlikely because the ARexx interface has been there since version 2.5 and I've never had a bug report about it so I'd suspect that it's pretty stable... better try on aros-exec first and see what they're saying

Hello Andreas,
seems an AROS bug, take alook here: http://aros-exec.org/modules/newbb/view ... 1&start=80

Very good... um, for me that is Issue solved, I'm outta here
