Package: handbrake
Version: 1.4.1+ds1-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: robm...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I am running Debian Testing. I last used handbrake around 2 weeks ago, and it worked as expected.

Today, both the GTK and CLI versions terminate immediately when I launch them.

When I pass the "--debug" argument, I obtain the following output:

----------
(null): create_builder_or_die()

(null): ghb_ui_update() activity_location
(null): get_setting_key ()

(null): ghb_widget_to_setting
(null): get_setting_key ()

(null): get_setting_key ()

Aborted
----------

I haven't been able to identify the cause for this.

I tried downgrading to handbrake 1.4.0+ds1-2 and ffmpeg 7:4.3.2-0+deb11u2, but this had no effect.

All the best,
Rob

Greetings,

I experience the same problem when building this package from source with the following commands:

# apt source handbrake
# sudo apt build-dep handbrake
# cd handbrake-1.4.1+ds1/
# dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

# ./debian/handbrake/usr/bin/ghb --debug

All the best,

Rob

Right, so this is a crash in the vaapi driver. Do you have
i965-va-driver or i965-va-driver-shaders installed? In case it's the
latter it would be an upstream bug. If it's i965-va-driver that's
probably caused by the patches we require to build without non-free
shaders for main.

(In general, for encoding you want the non-free vaapi driver to have
proper hardware encoding support.)

I have i965-va-driver installed (2.4.1+dfsg1-1). I wasn't aware of the
i965-va-driver-shaders package and how it differs from i965-va-driver.

I just installed i965-va-driver-shaders, rebooted, and now handbrake
doesn't crash on launch. So presumably this is a bug in
i965-va-driver?

Thanks very much for your assistance,
Rob
