ffserver is fine, I can receive udp and tcp with vlc. ffplay only works with
tcp. No idea why. On udp, everything I try (mpeg1video, mp2, mpeg with both
encapsulated) hangs in av_read_packet() inside av_try_read_frame() called by
av_find_stream_info()., both with and without --disable-ipv6. Data transfer
per se shoult not be the problem, clearly, since vlc + ffserver works in all
cases. However, the select() in rtsp.c:udp_read_packet() always returns 0
(timeout), or hangs if I remove the timeout as a test. This leads to an
infinite loop / hang of ffplay. local_port is set correctly to 5000/5002 in
udp.c and ffserver writes to it (and again, since vlc succeeds, I assume it
does so correctly). Not really sure what's wrong at this point... Here's
another interesting thing: as soon as I add a printf() after the sendto() in
udp.c:udp_write(), it all works correctly. This suggests some buffering or
threading issue (maybe in ffserver itself)?? Weird stuff.
