[FFmpeg-devel] AV_LOG_DEBUG Fixes Problem?

[Rod Delay]

I have inherited a C++ project that uses FFMpeg to capture audio and video from JitsiMeet, what we have found is after about 10 minutes it stops writing to the output file.  It's random anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.

I was able to narrow down to a problem with the following line:

avcodec_encode_video2(videoStream->codec, &video_pkt, &videoFrame, &got_input);
So I decided to add in some logging with the following:

    av_log_set_level(AV_LOG_DEBUG);
    av_log_set_callback(my_log_callback);


void FFRecorder::my_log_callback(void *ptr, int level, const char *fmt, va_list vargs)
{
    static char message[8192];

    vsprintf(message, fmt, vargs);

    cout << " FFMPEG LOG: " << message << endl;

}

Now for the bizarre, with the above logging enabled everything works fine.
I have been able to record several 45+ minute meetings.  If I comment out the logging it goes back to failing.  Does anyone know why adding this logging might fix the problem?
