Hi all,

Currently I have a script running that dumps snapshots from a security camera 
MJPEG stream with this command

ffmpeg -i http://admin:[email protected]/channel2 -c:v copy -f image2 
-strftime 1 %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z.jpg

However, in case the network has a dropout for some reason, the connection is 
broken but FFMPEG hangs. The process isn't stopped (apparently the broken 
connection is not detected) and there is no way of detecting this. Is there any 
way to set a timeout between frames arriving or something similar? Console 
output is this:
