It crashes at random but most crashes are when ffmpeg matches a write in the file (metadata upodate)
If this is not considered a bug, how can we resolve this? Maybe instruct ffmpeg to read the file at given intervals or receive this info from the outside via piped call, etc.?

Any info is welcome!

Please test current FFmpeg git head and prom vide backtrace, disassembly and register dump to make this a valid crash report.

Update with latest version as of yesterday from git, logfile:
​http://www112.zippyshare.com/v/pUW49mrk/file.html

Same issue. Textfile is updated regularry with new metadata (artist + title playing on the particular radiostation)

You can reproduce this by running the same command and update the textfile regularry via for example php script.
OS is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, ffmpeg compiled according to those instructions:

says "File has expired and does not exist anymore on this server"
also a minimal testcase would be helpful, the command line quoted in the first message is rater long and complex, are a the arguments needed for this to happen ?

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Please reopen if this is still reproducible and if you can provide console output, backtrace, disassembly and register dump, a testcase would also help.
