New submission from Sebastian Jansson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm using ffmpeg as a lib to receive an udp stream via multicast. That works fine when there is a stream. But when I try to connect to an unavailable ipadress:port it just locks and wait for an connection.
I'd expect it to return with an error instead, so I could handle it in my program. To reproduce you can use ffplay like following: ffplay udp://235.2.2.2:5000 it won't return until it has received a stream and the user can close the window. I asked about it on the irc channel and they suggested reporting it as a bug. I tried debugging it with gdb, but it doesn't seem possible to pause the execution when it's in the locked state. I've only tried this on Windows. Using the latest svn(Rev.14260) built with gcc.exe (GCC) 4.2.1-sjlj (mingw32-2) ---------- messages: 2497 nosy: sebastian8025 priority: normal status: new substatus: new title: ffmpeg stalls when trying to play udp stream from an unavaible adress. type: bug ______________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <https://roundup.mplayerhq.hu/roundup/ffmpeg/issue539> ______________________________________________________
