Error while decoding camera stream video frame using FFMpeg iOS

Question

I have an app, In which I am decoding video frames coming from ip camera, but the method avcodec_decode_video2(m_pCodecCtx, m_pFrame, &consumed_bytes, &avpkt); present in avcodec.h generating bad_access, I can't figure out what is wrong.

This app was working fine with old libraries FFMpeg, but by apple policy, in order to publish app it support arm64, so I updated my libraries to support arm64 and after that this issue occurred.

Here is the screenshot

While bad_access app is generating the following log:

Answer 1

I resolved my issue, The problem was with depreciated method avcodec_alloc_frame().

I was using the following code in constructor

    m_pCodecCtx = avcodec_alloc_context3(m_pCodec);
    if(m_pCodecCtx == NULL)
    {
        NSLog(@"if(pCodecCtx == NULL)\n");
        return ;
    }  
   [g_Lock lock];
    //¥Úø™codec°£»Áπ˚¥Úø™≥…𶵃ª∞£¨∑÷≈‰AVFrame£     
    if(avcodec_open2(m_pCodecCtx, m_pCodec, NULL) >= 0)     
    {     
        m_pFrame = avcodec_alloc_frame();   /* Allocate video frame   */

    }
    [g_Lock unlock];

Then I eventually updated my header files, afterward I got warnings about depreciation of method avcodec_alloc_frame() so, I updated it to av_frame_alloc() and it worked flawlessly!
