FYI reading from UDP in ffmpeg is completely broken for any bitrates above
800kbps
the loop that reads from UDP also goes through to demuxing, thus a lot of
UDP packets are simply dropped.
the solution is to implement a tight UDP loop in a custom application, or
wait until this is solved in libavformat
