Bug#692856: vlc: Endless loop at end of file when file is removed during play

[Touko Korpela]

Package: vlc
Version: 2.0.4-1
Severity: important

This happens also with 2.0.3-3 and earlier VLC versions too.
When you reach end of file that is removed during play (such as those with .part
suffix when you use Iceweasel to download media file and download completes) error
dialog doesn't respond and CPU spins in endless loop.
This is very bad when in full screen mode. I had to change to text console with
control-alt-F2 to be able to kill stuck vlc process.

Terminal has continuous stream of errors (tail of output here):

[0x60dc548] main input error: open of
`file:///home/touko/Downloads/x.flv.part' failed
[0x60f4928] filesystem access error: cannot open file
