Hey all,<br>
<br>
This is in reference to <a
href="https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/6641">ticket #4461</a>.
I debugged the problem and need some help in resolving it.<br>
<br>
Reason of hang : <br>
A thread (playlist's thread, maybe) locks the playlist-mutex at
src/playlist/thread.c line 573 and makes call to LoopRequest() at<br>
line 589. This eventually results in calling playlist_CurrentInput()
at modules/notify/notify.c line 166. playlist_CurrentInput()<br>
tries to lock the playlist-mutex , which causes deadlock.<br>
<br>
What can be done in this case to resolve the deadlock?<br>
<br>

Regards,<br>
Sandeep Kumar<br>
