Sorry, same here, very hackish. I especially dislike that you use 
read_size for a limit because that intereferes with probesize and silently 
ignores the problem.

Can't we fix the underlying issue? If not, then counting the number of 
EAGAINs and returning a hard failure if that becomes more than e.g. 10000 
would be a lot more acceptable to me. E.g.

if (nb_egains > 10000) {
    av_log(NULL, AV_LOG_ERROR, "read_frame stuck in an EAGAIN loop, this should not happen\n);
    return AVERROR_BUG;
}

Regards,
Marton

I dont know if AVERROR_BUG is the correct return code.
Also with this the question is do you reset nb_egains after a non zero output
or not ?
if you do then you could have a case where there are 9999 empty packets 
followed by 1 byte followed by 9999 empty packets ...
if you do not then a file with 10001 1 byte packets where after each theres 1
empty one would fail
Surely these are constructed hypothetical cases but the idea of adding it
with the number of reads is so that the real "cost" is bound
maybe a sepertate nb_egains tahts non reseting could be done but with a larger
limit

I dont really have an opinion on this, i dont like mixing it in read_size
either but then i also dont like any other solution. needing an extra
threshold and potentially user setable parameter all suck too

so if you like this nb_egains code better, sure go ahead and replace it

thx
