Recording RTP-Stream (HD) with the record-button impossible
Recording rtp-stream (HD) with the record-button impossible
Recording an RTP-Stream (HD) with record-button (GUI) doesn't work since version 2.2.0. The error occurs sill in current version 2.2.3 too. Earlier versions (up to 2.1.5) works fine.
If you press record button, the memory consumption for VLC grows up wihin a few minutes and vlc begin to write a very large file (>500MB/Minute). Sometimes during recording, sometimes after stop the recording the application hangs with >1GB memory consumption and still writing the recording file.
The error occurs in same way on
- Windows 7 prof. (x86), current update state
- Windows 7 Home (x64), current update state
- Windows Server 2012R2 (x64), current Update state
- vlc 2.2.0 - 2.2.3 (x86)
- different hardware (AMD, Intel, notebook, desktop)
To reproduce
- clean install of VLC 2.2.3 (or any other 2.2.x version)
- no configuration changes
- enalbe view -> advanced control
- open RTP stream (in my case german T-Entertain, rtp://@239.35.10.1:10000)
- press the red record button and wait a few seconds
My results
- during first ~22seconds, no file is written, normal CPU and memory consumption
- after first ~22 seconds VLC starts growing up memory consumption and produce a very large corrupted ts-File
- after ~60s: 500MB RAM, 1GB ts-File, sometimes different measured values
- after ~90s: 750MB RAM, 2GB ts-File, sometimes different measured values
- after ~5min the process must be killed (~2GB RAM, 15GB ts-File), no normal termination possible
- the ts-file cann't played back
