[rtmpdump] SIGPIPE upon Server Shutdown

[Evgeny Yakimov]

Hello

I am developing an application that publishes a h264/aac FLV stream via
RTMP, I'm using libav to do all the correct flv packaging and to interface
with librtmp.

It seems that whenever the server terminates (I'm using Wowza Media Server),
librtmp causes a SIGPIPE ( I guess from trying to write to the closed
socket), Libav/avconv normally exists here due to the SIGPIPE, If I ignore
the sigpipe then what seems to happen is that rtmp still attempts to write
to the broken pipe another 40 or so times till it finally seg faults.

I've attached a trace below taken from the first SIGPIPE

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

WriteN, RTMP send error 104 (136 bytes)

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.

Is there an easy way to get around this, for me it would be best if librtmp
would simply return an error from the RTMP_Write Call.

Evgeny
