Exiting normally, received signal 2.

As FFmpeg trying to reopen the input, it stops the udp output, which leads the udp output stream to have audio and video freezes .

I made another to output to a file (.mp4), the File has no problems, and the stream is recorded well.




Can you help me please.

Best Regards,
Hassan Ghaddar
