[vlc-devel] Streaming UDP send sockets not closed on client disconnect

[Sumit Aggarwal]

Hi,

I streamed a camera on one Windows XP system(server) using following sout 
rtp{mp4a-latm, ttl=127, sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:1234/test
 
 
Stream opens correctly on another system(client).
 
But if client is disconnected from netowrk due to some reason, 2 UDP sockets on 
the server remain open.
 
I checked using Windows sysinternals- TCPView. 
 
For each connection from client, server makes 1 TCP and 2 UDP sockets. 
If client disconnects abruptly, TCP connection gets closed but 2 UDP sockets 
remain open.
 
We can replicate this scenario in single system by opening 2 instances of vlc 
player and killing one vlc(client part) through Task Manager-Kill Process.
 
Is there a way to make UDP send sockets timeout?
 
Thanks,
Sumit
