libvlc - stop()/release() takes too long on low speed HLS streams

[aarondib]

Hi!

I am having too long stuck on libvlc.MediaMplayer.stop() or libvlc.MediaMplayer.release(), when playing HLS streams from low speed or unstable streaming servers.
Time period it takes to return from stop() or release() is from ~2 seconds up-to 3 minutes.
I can see that it stuck in:

Code: Select all

vlc / modules / demux / adaptive / http / Downloader.cpp

in method:

Code: Select all

void Downloader::cancel(HTTPChunkBufferedSource *source)

in line:

Code: Select all

vlc_mutex_lock(&lock);

it is called from:

Code: Select all

void HTTPConnectionManager::cancel(AbstractChunkSource *source)

Used vlc-android versions: 3.1.7, 3.2.2 and latest 3.2.x commits.

I was trying to use options:
--network-caching=100
--http-caching=100
--ipv4-timeout=100
--adaptive-use-access
--no-adaptive-use-access
--preparse-playlist=100
...

Nothing helped

Could someone help me to solve the issue or where should I search.

Where can I get it?
libvlc 4.0 branch seems to be updated last 2 years ago.
Thanks!
