Bug#830745: vlc: Freeze after the end of a video when the file is not here anymore and repeat is enabled

[Léo Andrès]

Package: vlc
Version: 1:2.2.4-dmo1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

When downloading a video, I had a foo.flv file, which stays empty until
the
download is done ; and a foo.flv.part file, in which the video is
stored until
the download is done, then it's moved to foo.flv and deleted.

As I didn't want to wait until the end of the download, I open the
foo.flv.part
file with vlc. The video plays correctly.

Unfortunately, at the end of the video, if the "repeat" function is
enabled in
vlc, vlc will freeze: I have to reboot the system the hard way.

I guess vlc tries to load the file foo.flv.part which is not here
anymore.

The correct behavior should be vlc not trying to load the file if it's
not here
anymore - or looking for foo.flv if the file is named foo.flv.part, but
IMHO
it's not the best thing to do.

Cheers,
