[vlc] Problem when streaming from v4l device.

[Philippe Van Hecke]

Hi all,
I am currently make some test of streaming from v4l device (bttv 
linux kernel 2.4.25). I get the last svn source from today.

I start vlc with the following command line

/usr/local/bin/vlc  -vvv --intf dummy 
v4l:/dev/video0:norm=pal:frequency=37525:size=704x576:channel=0:adev=/dev/sound/audio:audio=0 
--sout 
'#transcode{acodec=mp4a,vcodec=mp4v,vb=2000,ab=128,vt=8000000,keyint=80}:rtp{dst=239.2.12.42,sdp=sap,ttl=3,name="BELNET-TV}' 
--ttl 3 --mtu 1200 2>&1 |cat > belnet-tv.log;

after exactly 1 hours the vlc stop and die. Here are the last lines of the log

I have try this many time and vlc stop alway after exactly 1 hours ( i made a 
script that put date befor and after start in file). When i stream from bttv 
with vls. vls run many month without stoping. 

So my question is there is some timer limit in the v4l modules or there is 
something wrong in the way i start vlc ?

Thanks,

Philippe.
