> This works without a hitch on ffmpeg 3.4.8-0ubuntu0.2 (installed via apt-get), and I can open test.mp4 in a media player to view a streamed copy of the input video file. However, I have since upgraded to the most recent version because I need to use the -stream_loop functionality, which was buggy in older versions of ffmpeg. When I run the same commands as above in the updated version, however, the client side hangs indefinitely. However, it works when I switch protocol to TCP (using '-rtsp_transport tcp'). This happens regardless of the input file that I use. When I Ctrl-C the client, I see a file called test.mp4, but it's unplayable, which I can tell because ffprobe outputs the following:

Here is a patch:
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2020-August/267437.html <http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2020-August/267437.html>
It should solved the hang issue. I’m worried it may cause spurious EOF
(missing a few packets at the end of the stream) which the following
patch tried to solve:
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/20171201210915.18571-1-tmatth@videolan.org/ <https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/20171201210915.18571-1-tmatth@videolan.org/>
