Inspector XE hangs on ffmpeg program

[ywsong]

I just updated Intel Inspector XE to update 5 version.

One of program I was using hangs. It worked fine on previous version.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.2.0-39.

Used ffmpeg-0.6.3 with input file atttached but it does not stop for more than 24 hours.

The exact command line was: (it also hangs on GUI version)

inspxe-cl -collect ti-3 -module-filter-mode=include -appdebug=off -app-working-dir (path of ffmpeg-0.6.3)  -- (ffmpeg binary) -threads 2 -i test_10.AVI -target ntsc-dvd -s 1280x720 out_10.MOV

Thanks Mark, I've been having the same issue here, but in my case there is no way to make the app I'm profiling non-interactive. I had to download Inspector XE 2011 to make it work.

I second ywsong's words: this looks like a bug or a serious limitation.. it would be nice if you can manage to fix it in later versions.

What is the latest version without this change?

We're looking into a fix, but I can't say when it might be available.

IXE 2013 Update 3 is the latest version without the problem.  if you need to use a more recent version, leave a comment - there might another workaround.
