[troykelly]

Please first read the documentation. Problems affecting the client, e.g. Plex or Emby should be reported there in the forum.

Describe the bug xTeVe is leaving ffmpeg and vlc running when a stream fails from the server-side.

Server (please complete the following information):

• Linux - PhotonOS with ubunto docker container
• Intel 64 Bit
• 2.1.2 Build: 0121

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Watch a stream that is proxied by xTeVe
2. Allow the stream to fail from the provider end

If you use FFmpeg or VLC, xTeVe is not involved with the network connection to the provider. As long as the provider sends data to FFmpeg / VLC, the process is not terminated. Only the connection between Clinet and xTeVe can be monitored, if the last client ends a stream from xTeVe, the FFmpeg / VLC process is also ended.

Provider --> FFmpeg / VLC --> xTeVe <--> Client
