Debug logging of broken playback session (601.43 KB, text/x-log)

Description Islam Amer 2014-03-21 18:11:36 UTC 
I have a Samsung TV (UE42F5300) that supports DLNA playback. I tried using rygel to stream media to it and was partially successful.

1) Video and Music playback starts, but stops after a couple of minutes with a message "please check your network connection"
2) Photo display doesn't work

The behavior is the same when using simple media engine and gstreamer-1.0 media engine.

I noticed that the disconnection happens when rygel media engine closes the connection. I tested the theory by inserting a Thread.usleep(<big number>) at https://git.gnome.org/browse/rygel/tree/src/media-engines/simple/rygel-simple-data-source.vala#n175 and it helped a lot. Songs and Video were able to finish playback.

I can provide any debug logs needed.

Can you do a IP packet capture so we can see the tcp handshaking?
