Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream

Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream
Currently using Hyprland (wl-roots based compositor).

wf-recorder -x yuv420p -g "$(slurp)" --audio=bluez_output.A4_77_F3_F3_83_24.1.monitor -f test.mkv

This error only occurs if I select a smaller area on the screen with slurp, it doesnt occur if i select a larger portion of the screen. Similarly, recording fullscreen works fine.

[John-Paul-R]

note, even when I don't specify a region (just select a single output; one of three), I still encounter this issue.

[John-Paul-R]

So, interestingly, when I specify a framerate of either 30000/1001 as suggested in rigaya/NVEnc#57 (comment) (or 60000/1001, but no integer value I've tried (30, 60, 100)), via the -r argument, the "non monotonically" errors go away.

I still have a zwlr_screencopy_frame_v1@5: error 1: invalid buffer format error, however (currently running on the recreate-on-format-change branch (bf17503). On playback, the video seems to have its full duration, but I stop seeing new frames (eyeballing it) quite early on in the recording (if at all?).

Oh, I just realized that is not getting parsed as an expression at all. (at least, that's not how it displays)

At this point, I suspect me jumping to conclusions will do more harm than good, as I'm out of my wheelhouse. Here are some more complete logs with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1, exact command, and system info:

• wf-recorder logs with no -r flag
• wf-recorder logs with -r 30000
• for good measure, wf-recorder logs with -r 30000/1001

[entailz]

wf-recorder doesn't close immediately if I record fullscreen. the smaller the size of geometry, the sooner it crashes. for example, if I select a small region with slurp wf-recorder closes almost immediately with non monotomically increasing dts to muxer in stream error, however if I select a larger region it takes slightly longer to error out.

Here are some `WAYLAND_DEBUG=1` logs:

I tried -r 30000/1001 as you suggested above, same results as you.

I'm not able to reproduce this bug. Could it possibly have something to do with the libav/ffmpeg version that wf-recorder is using?

[John-Paul-R]

maybe? running ffmpeg yields:

Alright, I've built ffmpeg from FFmpeg/FFmpeg@8028b82, with those options.

Is there a way to make my locally-built wf-recorder target that locally built instance of ffmpeg? (I'd like to avoid mangling existing installs if possible) I'm quite unfamiliar with... well, frankly the entire build ecosystem, and I appear to be looking in the wrong places for info.

You should point PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the location of all the relevant .pc files when running meson to build wf-recorder, such as $prefix/lib/pkgconfig/, where $prefix is the prefix you used when installing ffmpeg. Then, you will want to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $prefix/lib/ when running wf-recorder.

[John-Paul-R]

all right, ran

#ffmpeg dir
./configure --enable-muxer=rtsp --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx265 --enable-libx264 --enable-encoder=libx264rgb --enable-encoder=flac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-libvpx --enable-vaapi --enable-libopus --enable-libdrm --enable-vulkan --enable-libdrm --enable-libpulse --disable-doc --prefix=/home/johnp/pkg_builing/bin
make
make install
#wf-recorder dir
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/johnp/pkg_builing/bin/lib/pkgconfig/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/johnp/pkg_builing/bin/lib/"
meson build --prefix=/home/johnp/pkg_building/bin --buildtype=release
ninja -C build
./build/wf-recorder -f ./test.mp4

and received identical results. (I include the steps because I'm not 100% sure how to verify the version wf-recorder is using at any given time)

[soreau]

I wonder if this has something to do with the refresh rate of the output or maybe variable refresh rates. Can everyone interested say what refresh rate they're using and whether or not they use a monitor with VRR enabled?

[John-Paul-R]

Sure, I've mostly been attempting to record on a 3440x1440@99.99800 display with vrr: 0. Though I also encounter the error on my other monitors.

(E: incidentally, recording whole displays at a time, with the rate reported by hyprctl monitors specified explicitly via -r does not resolve the zwlr_screencopy_frame_v1@5: error 1: invalid buffer format error (it does prevent the "non monotonically", errors, same as providing the other rates))

[soreau]

Does --no-dmabuf help at all?

[John-Paul-R]

It does not appear to have any effect. log w/ WAYLAND_DEBUG=1

(E: ditto for --no-damage, while I'm at it.) (Also note, I'm heading off to sleep, so my next response will likely be delayed, relative to the others. Ty for all the help investigating today!)
