Comment (by jbvsmo):

 Use any url that exists (doesn't need to be a real rtsp server)

 {{{
 ffmpeg -i rtsp://example.com/test test.avi
 }}}

 It will hang forever because there is no rtsp server (this is simulating
 the case where the server is down for maintenance).

 Now try adding `-timeout 10` as input option. Instead of waiting for 10
 seconds and finishing the process, the error above will show instantly.

 It may be an error on the code setting the socket timeout. It looks like
 it wants to bind an IP but the address is used
