stream http with mosaic => background problem / fake-file

hi,

I use mosaic like that :

1. I wait a stream on udp port 1234
2. I reencode it and put it available in http
3. if no stream is received on udp, I send background image => so with this technic, client is never disconnect when video stream has problem

that works well with 0.8.6i

since I'm on 1.0, it doesn't work well : when video stream stops, background image is not refreshed in the mosaic result from client => vlc stream stops... and even in trying to reconnect, it is dead

after several tests, when I use rtp/rtsp instead of http that works like a charm

my command line is : vlc --color -I telnet --vlm-conf /home/nvanhaute/vlmHD.conf --ttl 40 --fake-file /home/nvanhaute/mireHD.jpg --fake-aspect-ratio "16:9" --mosaic-width 1280 --mosaic-height 720 --udp-caching 2000 --mosaic-keep-picture --mosaic-rows 1 --mosaic-cols 1 --mosaic-position 1 --mosaic-order 1 --ipv4 -vvv

and my vlmHD.conf :

new channel1 broadcast enabled
setup channel1 input udp://@:1234
setup channel1 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{id=1,height=720,width=1280},select=video,dst=bridge-out{id=1},select=audio}

new background broadcast enabled
setup background input fake://
setup background option fake-fps=25.0
setup background output #transcode{sfilter=mosaic,vcodec=h264,venc=x264{keyint=150,min-keyint=5,subme=1},vb=1536,scale=1,fps=25.0}:bridge-in{delay=0,id-offset=100}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=172.30.92.72:8081}

control background play
control channel1 play

If you need more info or some logs, tell me how to and I will add them.

regards

I added some logs from client and server

I proceeded like that :

1. server started
2. client connected and got background image (mireHD.jpg)
3. sent a video stream to server (in udp)
4. client got the stream as well
5. I stop to send video stream in udp from an other computer
6. client got video frozen during several seconds, then stopped

even in restarting connection from client to server, nothing... sounds that http server is out/broken

7. I stopped vlc server

changed title from stream http with mosaic => background problem to stream http with mosaic => background problem / fake-file

I just changed size of stream + bitrate to reduce cpu now in end of logs I just get several :

[0x955ed60] [Média : background] mosaic filter debug: too late picture for 1 (241448) [0x955ed60] [Média : background] mosaic filter debug: too late picture for 1 (281448) [0x955ed60] [Média : background] mosaic filter debug: too late picture for 1 (321448) [0x955ed60] [Média : background] mosaic filter debug: too late picture for 1 (361448) [0x955ed60] [Média : background] mosaic filter debug: too late picture for 1 (401448) [0x955ed60] [Média : background] mosaic filter debug: too late picture for 1 (441448) [0x955ed60] [Média : background] mosaic filter debug: too late picture for 1 (481448) [0x955ed60] [Média : background] mosaic filter debug: too late picture for 1 (521448)

as i said, when user tries to reconnect after stream stops => nothing client received a FIN from server that's why stream stopped but why ?

in looking on server with a netstat, I can see that server still listens on the right port

just vlc sounds frozen in a strange state

is there any command to create logs more interesting for you to understand what happened ?

changed the description

still same bug with 1.0.1

added logs from client when I try to reconnect and a tcpdump from client as well
