[FFmpeg-user] Fwd: Transcode freezes within libavformat pthread_cond_timedwait

Hello, just to close this question:

Ffmpeg 3.0 and pre-3.0 git versions will freeze as shown below on AMD 
FX(tm)-4170 Quad-Core Processor or AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor. 
Works as expected on Intel based mainboards - tested on HP DL380 G5 and 
HP DL360 G5 type servers.

Tanks, george.

Hello,

Hit a condition where ffmpeg will freeze within 1-2 min. from start 
during transcode with libx264 or nvenc - it actually freezes in 
pthread_cond_timedwait() / udp_read() in libavformat. Just curious what 
it may be, ideas welcome. Examples below are with ffmpeg-3.0, but recent 
pulls from git give same condition.

Just to note that I that same stream udp://239.255.254.2:1234 is 
transcoded on different server - and that runs for several years with 
little problem - with an older ffmpeg, on HP DL360 G5 server, and this 
test is  on AMD mainboard with  AMD FX(tm)-4170 Quad-Core Processor.

--------------------- example is with nvenc, same with libx264

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Some ideas what may cause the problem? As told, same stream is 
transcoded in parallel on older ffpeg version, and it works. Could the 
computer type make the problem?

Any ideas appreciated,
Thanks, George.
