video will not stream

[Marc Elliott]

Summary of the bug:

I am trying to stream a short video in raw format from a server at San Diego State University. However, I am getting a segmentation fault when I run the command line that I have printed out below. This problem occurred while running the most recent release of ffmpeg.

How to reproduce:

The command line used was:

ffmpeg/ffmpeg -r 15 -s 320x240 -f rawvideo -i pipe: ​http://marconi.sdsu.edu:809\
0/feed1.ffm < testvideo_1000f.raw

Below is the console print out using the -v 9 -loglevel 99 flags and also with gdb running:

It looks like the problem is occurring in the ffmpeg.c file at line 4874. What concerns me is that the duration and bit rate of the video are being displayed as N/A.
