[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Check for not synchronized packets (very small feed file, very slow client connection)

[Milan Matejec]

Hi,

attached is patch for encoding/decoding .ffm format. When you set a maximum
size of feed file to too small number (I tried 20k) and try to connect to
ffserver from very slow connection (simulated by reading 8k chunks and then
wait 3 seconds) .ffm decoder will after a few seconds (10 maybe more ...)
stuck in endless "READ_HEADER" state because it got unreal size of .ffm
data packet (it's 24bits so take some random number - usually something
about 10MB) leading to immediately return after *ffm_is_avail_data()*. This
patch adds a packet header with signature so after loading header it tries
to check if signature is there. If not then it logs an error and tries to
reset a packet and read header again. It's not a best solution but better
than end up in an endless loop ...

Thanks.

Regards.
