Mutiple slices/tiles is not working

[Weijia]

When using the cfg files under the folder of nonCTC-SliceConfigExamples, the encoder and decoder crash. The tests follows CE2 test condition where IBC=1, PLT=1, BDPCM=2 and HashME=1 are additionally added. The problem affects the CE2 tests.

Submitted a merge request 1118 to solve the problem. AI seems OK now, but RA and LDB still have a crash.

I cannot reproduce the problem. Can you specify the exact parameters that you are using? Is this for 4:4:4? BDPCM=2 does not work for 4:2:0, so I changed this to 1. The rectangular slice config didn't work for encoder_randomaccess_vtm_SingleTilePerSlice.cfg, but that seems to be a different problem.

[Weijia]

Yes. It's for 4:4:4.

I used the attached cfg file encoder_randomaccess_vtm_RectangularSlice_r1.cfg and put the results to the attached log.txt. The decoder has crash. You could use that cfg file to reproduce the problem.

The issue may be duplicated with VTM-7rc1 with following settings and attached cfg

EncoderApp -c encoder_randomaccess_vtm_RectangularSlice.cfg -i sc_web_browsing_1280x720_30_8bit_300_444_r1.yuv -wdt 1280 -hgt 720 --InputBitDepth=8 -fr 30

The issue is that in multiple tiles, IBC buffer is reset at decoder and the access to left tiles is invalid. However, at encoder no such check is performed when searching BV. It looks ​https://vcgit.hhi.fraunhofer.de/jvet/VVCSoftware_VTM/merge_requests/1118 fixed this issue for I frames. But it was reported there was still crash for RA with the fix in MR1118. To further duplicate such crash and check.

cfg file to duplicate the reported crash on top of VTM-7rc1 for the first I frame

The key issue of crashing in inter slices looks due to tile index is not properly set in function xCheckRDCostHashInter() which is used a lot in SCC inter frame encoding. In addition, title index and related information are not properly initialized. Also, tile boundary is not properly considered in deblocking. A new MR is created ​https://vcgit.hhi.fraunhofer.de/jvet/VVCSoftware_VTM/merge_requests/1128.
