Will it completly impossible to upgrade to the latest version of Live555? Maybe it is already fixed there after so many years. I saw that they removed all those exit() calls.

@Snoopy87
Sorry for the long delay in replying.

Actually it's not much better.
Instead of directly calling exit() they call envir().internalError().
Default implementation for that is:

void UsageEnvironment::internalError() {
  abort();
}

...and from MSDN:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k089yyh0.aspx

abort does not return control to the calling process. By default, it checks for an abort signal handler and raises SIGABRT if one is set. Then abort terminates the current process and returns an exit code to the parent process.

It's difficult, but not completely impossible.
I started work on the task last week. So far I've updated MPFileWriter, streaming server and TsReader. After that I still have to do the IPTV RTSP plugin (which is the hardest part). Currently we're testing for bugs internally. Would you like to test the new streaming server?

 

[Snoopy87]

That sounds great! Of course I would like to test newer versions

Ace!
The latest test version is attached. Hopefully it will be better...

Damns you're fast mm!
I just wanted to uplaoded it, too And while I was writing ther was notification on my phone^^

Ahhh, it's because I'm working on the code at the moment, and I have the "live posts" open in my browser.

Nice!!
Do you need more testing on the current code? Tomorrow is my last exam and I plan to update my testmachine and start coding again (beginning tomorrow)

 

[mm1352000]

Not immediately. I think I've finally figured out the cause of the crashes with the modified TsReader. I'm working on patching the code now, and planning to post an updated version in a few hours (if my local testing is good). I've also finished the IPTV RTSP filter modifications, and I will post that at the same time as I post the updated TsReader.

 

[Snoopy87]

Thanks mm! I have to set up a test machine, etc. to reproduce the scenario, so it will be take ca. 1 week to give you feedback

No rush. Looking forward to your results.
