Bug ID: 527177
Summary: Haruna doesn't terminate yt-dlp process after failed
m3u streaming attempt
Classification: Applications
Product: Haruna
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
When using a large m3u playlist like iptv-org's, there are streaming URLs that
don't work either because they are not streaming or are geo-blocked. When such
a stream is played, a failed attempt is shown. But, the yt-dlp process lives
and keeps using CPU in the background trying to get the stream to work. As you
keep clicking more such failed streams these yt-dlp processes keep accumulating
in the background taking up resources and thermal throttling the CPU.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Find a non-working stream and double click to play it, it will show error
playing the stream
2. Find a working stream and play it
3. Notice how yt-dlp process from previous non-working stream is still running
in the background while the working stream's yt-dlp process cleanly exits
4. These stale yt-dlp processes from non-working streams accumulate as more
non-working streams are clicked
OBSERVED RESULT
Failed non-working streams leave stale yt-dlp processes in the background
taking up resources despite switching to a working stream.
EXPECTED RESULT
The yt-dlp process stops once it knows a stream is not working and exits
instead of constantly retrying. When playing another working stream, previous
stream's yt-dlp process doesn't run in the background.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
