When building a manifest for a live stream, ffmpeg does not append #EXT-X-ENDLIST when the input file completes.
This causes RaspBMC (essentially XBMC Frodo) to hang as it falls off the end of the playlist. It still occasionally re-requests the manifest, which'd suggest it's waiting for new input.
The function awaitCompletion has been amended to terminate the playlist once it knows the transcode has completed. I had originally put a loop at the end of the main process, but if a bitrate finished before the others it's playlist would not be terminated until the others completed (meaning any player using that bitrate would hang).
This may require some adjustment though, it seems certain versions of ffmpeg to append EXT-X-ENDLIST upon stream completion. Certainly version 2.6.2 does, though version 2.7 doesn't seem to.
One major difference, which is likely relevant, is that the testing in HLS-14 (which discovered this issue) was using a named pipe - so it may be that 2.7 behaves sanely when transcoding direct from a file. Will need to check.
