Hi, I am not an English native, but the verb "to lurk" is colloquially utilized as: "read the postings in an Internet forum without actively contributing." (quote from whatever dictionary Google utilizes) ...and this IMHO is applicable enough as Michael is busy just like many of us are busy most of the day. Now, please, all parties. Stop. We've had enough rudeness in this thread. And now, back to on-topic: * This change set offers to rename some options to make them similar to how the TCP protocol does things (http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=libavformat/tcp.c;h=8773493df1efebac33cff5d203c8c9ff17299d4b;hb=HEAD#l52). UDP protocol seems to follow suite regarding the "timeout" parameter, even matching the microsecond part? * It's imperfect since it doesn't change any of the types of the options (listen_timeout is now name-wise matched, but type-wise is supposed to contain seconds for rtsp, milliseconds (! yet another time scale) in tcp). * But if we do not rename the current timeout parameter (which does a different thing than timeout for both TCP and UDP - and name-wise matches "listen_timeout" as far as it can be seen), we cannot have the matching name for the matching type of - which should be under the option "timeout". So, as far as I can see for now applying this or a slightly modified version of this as per James' comments doesn't seem to be a too bad initial step. It brings at least one option in line. We can then start the larger job of normalizing the timeout parameter across FFmpeg, as it seems like mentioning this area made multiple people notice possible improvements in this area. But this is just my 2 eurocents. Best regards, Jan _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
