FFMPEG rebooting my Amiga

Dynamic_Computi · 30 July 2018, 16:33

Good day,
I recently installed FFMPEG from Aminet, and had to track down the ixemul.library version 63.1. I found it and installed the library. FFPLAY seems to function, albeit it launches terribly slow. FFMPEG, when launches from the CLI immediatley reboots my machine. I reinstalled the libraries and same results. Anyone else have this happen?
A4000, Warp Engine 040/40, 48 MB RAM, OS 3.9 with Boing Bag 4, Thylacine USB (Zorro), Sunrize AD516 audio card, X-Surf 100 with Roadshow TCP/IP, Cybergraphix 64 using P96, SCSI drives.

In general when it comes to ixemul software issues, increasing the stack size to something ridiculous is often the solution

Great! I will give that a try. I have a reasonable amount of RAM so I should be just fine.

Bumped up the stack quite a bit, and still almost instant reboot when I run FFMPEG. I wonder if the ixemul.library I found is maybe only for '060 chips. Is anyone using the current version with an '040? If so,where did you locate version 63.1 of the library?
I also located an older version of FFMPEG on Aminet from 2004, but it seems to be missing a lot of features. It does seem to run, though.

Interesting solution for my issue - I had ordered in two 32MB SIMMS for my Warp Engine to replace the two 16MM SIMMS - Just for laughs I tried FFMPEG with the new SIMMS - No reboot and it worked fine!
The weird thing is that I did not have any other symptoms of bad memory - My A4000 had been running pretty well without any other reboots. Oh well. I am happy.
