Description (last modified by Promes1984)

Summary of the bug: using ffmpeg on windows there is no connection timeout when the camera is not available during connecting.
How to reproduce:

my command: ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel verbose -y -timeout 10 -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://admin:password@192.168.0.102:8554/profile0 -t 600 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -metadata title="CAM1" -f segment -reset_timestamps 1 -segment_time 60 -segment_atclocktime 1 -segment_format mkv -strftime 1 C:\temp\%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.mkv
shorter command: ffmpeg -timeout 10 -y -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://admin:password@192.168.0.102:8554/profile0 -t 600 -acodec copy -vcodec copy C:\temp\dummy.mp4

Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this bug tracker.

Using linux parameter "-stimeout <milliseconds>" helps.
On the latest windows build this parameter is not available and results in "Unrecognized option 'stimeout'.".

I also got told to use "-timeout <seconds>" in combination with "-rtsp_flags listen".
This results in error "[rtsp @ 0000027f58623fc0] Unable to open RTSP for listening. rtsp://admin:password@192.168.0.102:8554/profile0: Error number -10049 occurred" even if the camera is available and usable with vlc.

Once the connection is established ffmpeg stops when the connection is lost.
