Good day. Does anyone know how to VLC vlc 3.0.x to make work properly the loop option? Because now it is mildly not working... Well would just stop the picture, so no, vlc then starts with triple the power to consume the processor and becomes unmanageable over htpp.

Hi, it might finally be fixed for 3.0.x: https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2019-May/124882.html

Thanks for the reply. Tried vlc-3.0.7-20190602-0511-win64.zip and there nothing has changed. Or will this fix only be inserted in the final version 3.0.7?

Hi, what are you trying to broadcast ? it can still happen if you stream very short files.

Thanks for the reply. I'm broadcasting an iptv stream m3u8. Segment length is measured in minutes.

It is even on the stupid test hangs in exactly the same way as I described in the first message.
-------------------------------------------------------------
del all
new bg broadcast loop enabled
setup bg option audio-language=ru
setup bg option keep-all
setup bg input "http://127.0.0.127"
setup bg output #standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=0.0.0.0:8181}
control bg play

Hi,

Could you describe what you observe exactly, please? What happens with loop enabled? What happens with loop disabled? Any error message?

Thanks for the reply. At first everything goes normally, but as soon as the segment in m3u8 comes to an end or there will be other problem, then seconds later 2 vlc.exe starts always with the same knowledge to consume CPU. And stops responding to http commands. I brought up an example file on which you will be able to reproduce this problem.

Thank you for your report.

I proposed 2 patches on VLC3 which should fix your problem:

Thanks for the reply. Only it is not clear when this patch will be inserted into nightly builds
