Could not detect end of the video file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the following code:

import com.googlecode.javacv.*;
import com.googlecode.javacv.cpp.opencv_core.IplImage;

public class TestClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        IplImage img;
        OpenCVFrameGrabber capture = new OpenCVFrameGrabber("/home/user/a.avi");
        try {
            capture.start();
            while (true) {
                img = capture.grab();
                if (img == null) {
                    break;
                }
                //do something!
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

2. Wait till the Exception are thrown.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect the 'image' variable to be null at the end of video file. 
However, I can't detect it. That way, always the Exception are detected ("could 
not grab frame")...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
JavaCV 0.3 + OpenCV 2.3.2 + Linux Mint

Please provide any additional information below.
I want to decode each frame and then append to a Vector. When I try to do that, 
a NullPointerException are thrown right away. When displaying the frames with 
the CanvasFrame, the video are shown correctly, but the Exception still remains.

Could you try again with FFmpegFrameGrabber? You're probably going to have 
better luck with that...

Tried that already, the error present was...

I also tried to find the "libavutil.so" with "locate libavutil.so" and the 
results:

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libavutil.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.51
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.51.22.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libavutil.so

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libavutil.so.51.22.1

Then I added the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu to the PATH, exported it, closed all 
things (Netbans and Terminal), launched the netbeans again and... exception...

This means you're not using JavaCV 0.3. Try again with JavaCV 0.3, which 
supports FFmpeg 1.0

First off, thanks for the time and patience despending in this problem!!!

I was using FFMpeg version 0.11.2.

Now I am using the FFMpeg v1.0.4, configured with these:

"./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame 
--enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libtheora 
--enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-nonfree 
--enable-postproc --enable-version3 --enable-x11grab"

Re-downloaded JavaCV 0.3, put the files "javacpp.jar", "javacv.jar" and 
"java-linux-x86.jar" in the libraries section of the netbeans project.

Calculated the md5sum of these files to comprove the version:
5c71422ae9ca9305bb8b315fa4903d55  javacpp.jar
417cc824ea07ca62cc114333ff6de994  javacv.jar
a804a94f9868980434110ca8008cc39f  javacv-linux-x86.jar

Now my "locate libavutil.so" returns:
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.51
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.51.22.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libavutil.so.51
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libavutil.so.51.22.1

My PATH environment it's:
echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/loc
al/games:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/:/usr/local/lib

And, finally, the error returned:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:

Looks like the needed version now is the libavcodec.so.54... 

Just to be sure tried again with OpenCVFrameGrabber, but the original problem 
(could not grab frame) remains...

Yes, libavcodec.so.54 also comes with FFmpeg 1.0...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

But what can I been doing wrong? 

Just compiled the FFmpeg version 1.0.4 with the flags above and that file 
simply does not shows itself...

This way I am going to try instaling using "apt-get install" or even renaming 
the file I have to the file I need. This is grotesque!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Looks like you missed the --enable-shared option...

Original comment by samuel.a...@gmail.com on 11 Feb 2013 at 5:31

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes, that did the trick!

Thanks for your assistance and patience!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Great! So, does FFmpeg have any problem detecting the end of video files?

Original comment by samuel.a...@gmail.com on 17 Feb 2013 at 12:52

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It works, but I noticed some frames of the end of the input video are not 
recognized/decoded. When I  use the FFMPEG directly under terminal the decoded 
video has more frames than when using the FFMpegFrameGrabber. Really strange...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ok... let me know if you figure out why it's doing that, thanks!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Good news! I figured out why the last few frames of video didn't get decoded 
thanks to the reported issue #315. The fix is available here:

Let me know if that doesn't work for you for some reason though, thanks!
