Client VLC consumes all CPU when stream server goes down

Component: Demuxers Version: 0.8.6a
Severity: major Keywords: live RTSP
Cc: Platform(s): Win32
Difficulty: unknown Work status: Not started

Description (Last modified by courmisch)

With vlc 0.8.5 and 0.8.6 windows

VLC freeze when the stream server is downing. The same problem occur when the stream is already finished, but VLC still connected to the server for a while waiting for the teardown message.

The stream is ended, stream server is going down, and VLC client go in a loop, consumming 100% of CPU.

I encounter already this problem with Free (Iliad) stream, and can reproduce the similart bug with stream server like Mediabase(Kasenna).

Hello,

I have the same problem. The problem occurs when I look at TV through the stream dispatched by Free (http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u) to their internet access customers. If the picture freeze and if I do nothing, after few minutes, VLC start to use 100% of the CPU. It's really annoying. The only thing I can do is clicking on the close button and wait 10-20 minutes until VLC close correctly.
