TIdTcpClient thread stops responding after some time - delphi

After some time my client thread stops receiving/sending commands from/to TIdTcpServer.
Here is the client side thread I copied from an example from Remy:
Tested locally and it doesn't happen, only on a running environment the error occurs...
type
TDataEvent = procedure(const LBuffer: TIdBytes) of object;
TReadingThread = class(TThread)
private
FClient : TIdTCPClient;
FData : TIdBytes;
FOnData : TDataEvent;
procedure DataReceived;
protected
procedure Execute; override;
public
constructor Create(AClient: TIdTCPClient); reintroduce;
property OnData: TDataEvent read FOnData write FOnData;
end;
constructor TReadingThread.Create(AClient: TIdTCPClient);
begin
inherited Create(True);
FClient := AClient;
end;
procedure TReadingThread.Execute;
begin
while not Terminated do
begin
Form1.Cliente.IOHandler.ReadBytes(FData, szProtocol, False);
if (FData <> nil) and Assigned(FOnData) then Synchronize(DataReceived);
end;
end;
procedure TReadingThread.DataReceived;
begin
if Assigned(FOnData) then FOnData(FData);
end;
procedure TForm1.DataReceived(const LBuffer: TIdBytes);
type
PTBytes = ^TBytes;
PTIdBytes = ^TIdBytes;
var
LDataSize : Integer;
LProtocol : TProtocol;
LBuffer2 : TBytes;
LProtocol2 : TProtocol;
begin
LProtocol := BytesToProtocol(PTBytes(#LBuffer)^);
case LProtocol.Command of
cmdHWID:
begin
HWID := LProtocol.Sender.HWID;
end;
cmdPing:
begin
InitProtocol(LProtocol2);
LProtocol2.Command := cmdPing;
LProtocol2.Sender.PBack := GetTickCount;
LBuffer2 := ProtocolToBytes(LProtocol2);
Form1.Cliente.IOHandler.Write(PTIdBytes(#LBuffer2)^);
ClearBuffer(LBuffer2);
end;
end;
end;
For a while all works perfectly, but after some time, the client side stops receiving/sending. The connection to the server is seems to be still open.
function to find connection by ip:
list := IdTCPServer1.Contexts.LockList;
try
for i := 0 to list.Count - 1 do
begin
ctx := TIdContext(list[i]);
if ctx.Binding.PeerIP = Edit9.Text then
begin
TLog.AddMsg('IP FOUND');
Achou := True;
Cliente := TClientContext(ctx);
SerialCn := Cliente.Client.HWID;
IpCn := Cliente.Client.IP;
break;
end;
end;
finally

end;

speed exchanges data between TIdTcpServer and TIdTCPClient (like a flood) how to

I have a simple TidTCPServer Working on a console and accepting Data. My problem is when the client Send Stream but having a very high of speed exchange data, The server freeze after 70 lines and the CPU load of the server go to 70%; I don't know how can i resolve without adding a sleep between every send . below an example of Client and Server . Can you help me to resolve this (Server Side) thanks .

On the server side, your InputBufferIsEmpty() check is backwards. If the client is sending a lot of data, InputBufferIsEmpty() is likely to become False eventually, which will cause your server code to enter a tight unyielding loop that doesn't actually read anything. Just get rid of the check entirely and let ReceiveStream() block until there is a packet available to read.
Also, why are you setting the server's ListenQueue to 15, but the MaxConnections to 0? MaxConnections=0 will force the server to immediately close every client connection that is accepted, so the OnExecute event will never get a chance to be called.
On the client side, there is no need to destroy and recreate the TMemoryStream on each loop iteration, you should reuse that object.
But more importantly, you are not using write buffering correctly, so either fix that or get rid of it. I would do the latter, as you are sending lots of small packets, so just let TCP's default coalescing handle the buffering for you.
And TIdIOHandler.Write(TStream)/TIdIOHandler.ReadStream() can exchange the stream size for you, you don't need to do that manually.
Try this instead:

Client/Server application

I am writing a client / server application. There is one server and several clients.
When connecting a client, the task is to add its IP address to the ListBox, and when disconnecting the client, remove it from the ListBox. Then exchange messages between the client and server.
Three questions arose: when a client connects, its IP address is added to the ListBox, but when disconnected, it is not deleted from there, here is the code:
type
TSimpleClient = class(TObject)
DNS,
Name : String;
ListLink : Integer;
Thread : Pointer;
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Connect(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Client: TSimpleClient;
begin
Client := TSimpleClient.Create;
Client.DNS := AContext.Connection.Socket.Binding.PeerIP;
Client.ListLink := ListBox1.Items.Count;
Client.Thread := AContext;
ListBox1.Items.Add(Client.DNS);
AContext.Data := Client;
Clients.Add(Client);
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Disconnect(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Client : TSimpleClient;
begin
sleep(2000);
Client :=Pointer (AContext.Data);
Clients.Delete(Client.ListLink);
ListBox1.Items.Delete(ListBox1.Items.IndexOf(Client.DNS));
Client.Free;
AContext.Data := nil;
end;
The second question, when exchanging messages, the letters in Cyrillic are given as "???", all Google went through it and it was not possible to find an error.
And the third question, on the client is a timer that listens to messages from the server, when the timer is turned on, the client application hangs tight, putting all this into the stream is the same trouble, the code:
if not IdTCPClient1.Connected then
Exit;
s := IdTCPClient1.Socket.ReadLn;
if s <> '' then
Label1.Text := s;
I see quite a few problems with your code.
On the server side, you need to get rid of the TSimpleClient.ListLink field. You are misusing it, causing bad behaviors in your code since you don't keep it updated as clients are added/removed. Think of what happens when you have 2 clients connected, where ListLink is 0 and 1 respectively, and then the 1st client disconnects. The ListLink for the 2nd client will become invalid since you don't decrement it from 1 to 0.
Also TIdTCPServer is a multi-threaded component, its events are fired in the context of worker threads, but your event handler code is not thread-safe. You MUST synchronize with the main UI thread when accessing UI controls from worker threads, and you MUST protect your Clients list from concurrent access across thread boundaries. In this case, you don't really need your own Clients list to begin with as TIdTCPServer has its own thread-safe Contexts list that you can use to access the connected clients.
You are also not handling Unicode at all. By default, Indy's default byte encoding for Unicode strings is US-ASCII, which is why you are getting ? for non-ASCII characters. You can use the IOHandler's DefStringEncoding property to set a different byte encoding, such as IndyTextEncoding_UTF8 (if you are using Delphi 2007 or earlier, you might need to also use the IOHandler's DefAnsiEncoding property to specify how your ANSI strings are converted to/from Unicode. By default, it is set to IndyTextEncoding_OSDefault).
Try something more like this:
type
TSimpleClient = class(TObject)
DNS,
Name : String;
Thread : Pointer;
OutgoingMsgs : TIdThreadSafeStringList;
HasOutgoingMsgs : Boolean;
constructor Create;
destructor Destroy; override;
procedure Queue(const Msg: string);
procedure FlushMsgs;
end;
constructor TSimpleClient.Create;
begin
inherited;
OutgoingMsgs := TIdThreadSafeStringList.Create;
end;
destructor TSimpleClient.Destroy;
begin
OutgoingMsgs.Free;
inherited;
end;
procedure TSimpleClient.Queue(const Msg: string);
var
List: TStringList;
begin
List := OutgoingMsgs.Lock;
try
List.Add(Msg);
HasOutgoingMsgs := True;
finally
OutgoingMsgs.Unlock;
end;
end;
procedure TSimpleClient.FlushMsgs;
var
List: TStringList;
begin
List := OutgoingMsgs.Lock;
try
while List.Count > 0 do
begin
TIdContext(Thread).Connection.IOHandler.WriteLn(List[0]);
List.Delete(0);
end;
HasOutgoingMsgs := False;
finally
OutgoingMsgs.Unlock;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Connect(AContext: TIdContext);
var
PeerIP: string;
Client: TSimpleClient;
begin
PeerIP := AContext.Binding.PeerIP;
Client := TSimpleClient.Create;
Client.DNS := PeerIP;
Client.Thread := AContext;
AContext.Data := Client;
TThread.Queue(nil,
procedure
begin
ListBox1.Items.AddObject(PeerIP, Client);
end
);
AContext.Connection.IOHandler.DefStringEncoding := IndyTextEncoding_UTF8;
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Disconnect(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Client : TSimpleClient;
begin
Client := TSimpleClient(AContext.Data);
try
TThread.Queue(nil,
procedure
var
Index: Integer;
begin
Index := ListBox1.Items.IndexOfObject(Client);
if Index <> -1 then
ListBox1.Items.Delete(Index);
end;
);
finally
{ The anonymous procedure being passed to TThread.Queue() above captures
the Client variable itself, not its value. On ARC platforms, we need to
prevent Free() setting the variable to nil before it can be passed to
IndexOfObject(), and also because IndexOfObject() expects a live object
anyway. ARC will free the object when the anonymous procedure exits. On
non-ARC platforms, it is OK to Free() the object here, the variable will
not change value, and IndexOfObject() does not need a live object... }
{$IFNDEF AUTOREFCOUNT}
Client.Free;
{$ENDIF}
AContext.Data := nil;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Execute(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Client: TSimpleClient;
begin
Client := TSimpleClient(AContext.Data);
if Client.HasOutgoingMsgs then
Client.FlushMsgs
else
Sleep(100);
end;
procedure TForm1.SendMessageToClient(Client: TSimpleClient; const Msg: string);
var
List: TIdContextList;
begin
List := IdTCPServer1.Contexts.LockList;
try
if List.IndexOf(TIdContext(Client.Thread)) <> -1 then // still connected?
Client.Queue(Msg);
finally
IdTCPServer1.Contexts.UnlockList;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Index: Integer;
Msg: string;
Client: TSimpleClient;
begin
Index := ListBox1.ItemIndex;
if Index = -1 then Exit;
Msg := Edit1.Text;
if Msg = '' then Exit;
Client := TSimpleClient(ListBox1.Items.Objects[Index]);
SendMessageToClient(Client, Msg);
end;
Alternatively, you can derive TSimpleClient from TIdServerContext and get rid of the Thread field altogether:
type
TSimpleClient = class(TIdServerContext)
DNS,
Name : String;
OutgoingMsgs : TIdThreadSafeStringList;
HasOutgoingMsgs : Boolean;
constructor Create(AConnection: TIdTCPConnection; AYarn: TIdYarn; AList: TIdContextThreadList = nil); override;
destructor Destroy; override;
procedure Queue(const Msg: string);
procedure FlushMsgs;
end;
constructor TSimpleClient.Create(AConnection: TIdTCPConnection; AYarn: TIdYarn; AList: TIdContextThreadList = nil);
begin
inherited Create(AConnection, AYarn, AList);
OutgoingMsgs := TIdThreadSafeStringList.Create;
end;
destructor TSimpleClient.Destroy;
begin
OutgoingMsgs.Free;
inherited;
end;
procedure TSimpleClient.Queue(const Msg: string);
var
List: TStringList;
begin
List := OutgoingMsgs.Lock;
try
List.Add(Msg);
HasOutgoingMsgs := True;
finally
OutgoingMsgs.Unlock;
end;
end;
procedure TSimpleClient.FlushMsgs;
var
List: TStringList;
begin
List := OutgoingMsgs.Lock;
try
while List.Count > 0 do
begin
Self.Connection.IOHandler.WriteLn(List[0]);
List.Delete(0);
end;
HasOutgoingMsgs := False;
finally
OutgoingMsgs.Unlock;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
IdTCPServer1.ContextClass := TSimpleClient;
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Connect(AContext: TIdContext);
var
PeerIP: string;
Client: TSimpleClient;
begin
PeerIP := AContext.Binding.PeerIP;
Client := TSimpleClient(AContext);
Client.DNS := PeerIP;
TThread.Queue(nil,
procedure
begin
ListBox1.Items.AddObject(PeerIP, Client);
end
);
AContext.Connection.IOHandler.DefStringEncoding := IndyTextEncoding_UTF8;
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Disconnect(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Client : TSimpleClient;
begin
Client := TSimpleClient(AContext);
TThread.Queue(nil,
procedure
var
Index: Integer;
begin
Index := ListBox1.Items.IndexOfObject(Client);
if Index <> -1 then
ListBox1.Items.Delete(Index);
end;
);
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Execute(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Client: TSimpleClient;
begin
Client := TSimpleClient(AContext);
if Client.HasOutgoingMsgs then
Client.FlushMsgs
else
Sleep(100);
end;
procedure TForm1.SendMessageToClient(Client: TSimpleClient; const Msg: string);
var
List: TIdContextList;
begin
List := IdTCPServer1.Contexts.LockList;
try
if List.IndexOf(TIdContext(Client)) <> -1 then // still connected?
Client.Queue(Msg);
finally
IdTCPServer1.Contexts.UnlockList;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Index: Integer;
Msg: string;
Client: TSimpleClient;
begin
Index := ListBox1.ItemIndex;
if Index = -1 then Exit;
Msg := Edit1.Text;
if Msg = '' then Exit;
Client := TSimpleClient(ListBox1.Items.Objects[Index]);
SendMessageToClient(Client, Msg);
end;
On the client side, you are reading from the socket in the main UI thread, but Indy uses blocking sockets, and so its reading methods will block the calling thread until the requested data arrives. DON'T block the main UI thread! Read only if there is actually something available to read, or else move the reading into a separate worker thread. For example:
IdTCPClient1.Connect;
IdTCPClient1.IOHandler.DefStringEncoding := IndyTextEncoding_UTF8;
...
IdTCPClient1.Disconnect;
...
procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
var
s: string;
begin
if IdTCPClient1.Connected and (not IdTCPClient1.IOHandler.InputBufferIsEmpty) then
begin
s := IdTCPClient1.IOHandler.ReadLn;
if s <> '' then
Label1.Text := s;
end;
end;
Alternatively:
type
TReadingThread = class(TThread)
protected
procedure Execute; override;
end;
procedure TReadingThread.Execute;
var
s: String;
begin
while not Terminated do
begin
s := Form1.IdTCPClient1.IOHandler.ReadLn;
if s <> '' then
begin
TThread.Queue(nil,
procedure
begin
Form1.Label1.Text := s;
end
);
end;
end;
end;
...
var
ReadingThread: TReadingThread = nil;
...
IdTCPClient1.Connect;
IdTCPClient1.IOHandler.DefStringEncoding := IndyTextEncoding_UTF8;
ReadingThread := TReadingThread.Create(False);
...
ReadingThread.Terminate;
try
IdTCPClient1.Disconnect;
finally
ReadingThread.WaitFor;
ReadingThread.Free;
end;

I added a call to the FlushMsgs method from the TSimpleClient.Queue procedure and messages started to be sent, the list of clients is updated every time clients are connected and disconnected, and the server stopped hanging. Thanks again Remy, you helped a lot to speed up the development, golden man.

TIdTcpServer Stop Accept New Connections After Some Time

i already tried use TIdTcpServer many times, and i always have the same issue.
after some time working (receiving connections) he stop receive new connections and need restart him for back work.
the code who i use now it's very simply, but the problem still happening. and i don't know what do more, i'm almost purchasing a connection framework for see if solve the problem.
procedure TForm1.ClientStateUpdated(Client: TClient; Texto: String);
var
PeerIP, HostName: string;
begin
PeerIP := Client.IP;
HostName := Client.HWID;
TThread.Queue(nil,
procedure
begin
if ((PeerIP <> '') and (HostName <> '')) then Memo2.Lines.Add(Format(Texto, [TimeToStr(Now), PeerIP, HostName]));
end);
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Connect(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Conexao : TClient;
Retorno : TArray<String>;
Query : TFDQuery;
Libera : Boolean;
IPEX : Boolean;
begin
Libera := True;
IPEX := True;
Conexao := TClient(AContext);
Retorno := AContext.Connection.IOHandler.ReadLn(LF, 5000).Split(['#']);
if Length(Retorno) = 0 then
begin
AContext.Connection.Disconnect;
Exit;
end;
if Retorno[0] = 'cmdPing' then Retorno[1] := Retorno[2];
Conexao.IP := AContext.Connection.Socket.Binding.PeerIP;
Conexao.HWID := Retorno[1];
Conexao.Connected := Now;
Conexao.Ping := Ticks;
ClientStateUpdated(Conexao, "%s %s %s");
Conexao.Connection.IOHandler.WriteLn('cmdContinue');
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Disconnect(AContext: TIdContext);
begin
ClientStateUpdated(TClient(AContext), RetornaTraducao(32));
end;
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Execute(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Conexao : TClient;
Retorno : TArray<String>;
begin
Conexao := TClient(AContext);
Retorno := AContext.Connection.IOHandler.ReadLn.Split(['#']);
end;
Others declarations:
type
TClient = class(TIdServerContext)
private
FCriticalSection : TCriticalSection;
public
IP : String;
HWID : String;
Connected : TDateTime;
Ping : Cardinal;
Queue : TIdThreadSafeStringList;
constructor Create(AConnection: TIdTCPConnection; AYarn: TIdYarn; AList: TIdContextThreadList = nil); override;
destructor Destroy; override;
procedure Lock;
procedure Unlock;
end;
constructor TClient.Create(AConnection: TIdTCPConnection; AYarn: TIdYarn; AList: TIdContextThreadList = nil);
begin
inherited Create(AConnection, AYarn, AList);
FCriticalSection := TCriticalSection.Create;
Queue := TIdThreadSafeStringList.Create;
end;
destructor TClient.Destroy;
begin
Queue.Free;
FreeAndNil(FCriticalSection);
inherited;
end;
procedure TClient.Lock;
begin
FCriticalSection.Enter;
end;
procedure TClient.Unlock;
begin
FCriticalSection.Leave;
end;
The strange thing is, if i create an application who connect/disconnect and run it for MANY hours application works fine, but when i release it for public the problem come.
i don't use IdSchedulerOfThreadDefault1 / IdSchedulerOfThreadPool1

Disconnect unknow connections at TIdTcpServer OnConnect

I'm having a problem. I created a TIdTCPServer but I need to prevent false/unknown connections.
I tried this:
procedure Wait(millisecs: Integer);
var
tick: dword;
AnEvent: THandle;
begin
AnEvent := CreateEvent(nil, False, False, nil);
try
tick := GetTickCount + dword(millisecs);
while (millisecs > 0) and (MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(1, AnEvent, False, millisecs, QS_ALLINPUT) <> WAIT_TIMEOUT) do begin
Application.ProcessMessages;
if Application.Terminated then Exit;
millisecs := tick - GetTickcount;
end;
finally
CloseHandle(AnEvent);
end;
end;
procedure CheckCon(Con: Pointer);
begin
Wait(5000);
if TClient(Con).HWID = '' then TClient(Con).Connection.Disconnect;
EndThread(0);
end;
constructor TClient.Create(AConnection: TIdTCPConnection; AYarn: TIdYarn; AList: TIdContextThreadList = nil);
var
ThreadId : Cardinal;
begin
inherited Create(AConnection, AYarn, AList);
FCriticalSection := TCriticalSection.Create;
Queue := TIdThreadSafeStringList.Create;
BeginThread(nil, 0, #CheckCon, Self, 0, ThreadId);
end;
OnConnect event code:
procedure TForm1.IdTCPServer1Connect(AContext: TIdContext);
var
Conexao : TClient;
Retorno : TArray<String>;
Query : TFDQuery;
Libera : Boolean;
IPEX : Boolean;
begin
Libera := True;
IPEX := True;
Conexao := TClient(AContext);
Retorno := AContext.Connection.IOHandler.ReadLn.Split(['#']);
if Length(Retorno) = 0 then
begin
AContext.Connection.Disconnect;
Exit;
end;
Conexao.IP := AContext.Connection.Socket.Binding.PeerIP;
Conexao.HWID := Retorno[1];
Conexao.Connected := Now;
Conexao.Ping := Ticks;
ClientStateUpdated(Conexao, RetornaTraducao(40));
TThread.Queue(nil,
procedure
begin
Memo2.Lines.Add(Format(RetornaTraducao(36), [TimeToStr(Now), Conexao.IP, Conexao.HWID]));
end);
end;
If I test creating a low number of unknown clients, it works good, but if I flood it with MANY connections, the application crashes. I need something like this to prevent unknown connections in my TIdTCPServer.
I tried calling
Memo2.Lines.Add(Format('[%s]', [AContext.Connection.IOHandler.ReadLn]));
in IdTCPServer1Connect to determine if the connection was my application, but if the client only connects and doesn't send anything, the line doesn't execute.
Starting a worker thread inside of TClient's constructor is completely unnecessary (the TClient object is already run in a thread created by the server). You can simply set a 5 second timeout on the ReadLn() call itself and be done with it.
Also, TIdTCPServer is a multi-threaded component, its events are fired in the context of worker threads, so access to UI controls like Memo2 MUST by synchronized with the UI thread or else bad things happen.
Try something more like this:
constructor TClient.Create(AConnection: TIdTCPConnection; AYarn: TIdYarn; AList: TIdContextThreadList = nil);
begin
inherited Create(AConnection, AYarn, AList);
FCriticalSection := TCriticalSection.Create;
Queue := TIdThreadSafeStringList.Create;
end;

why warning appears when sending bitmap frame into MemoryStream to client?

Before I explain my problem, I'm sorry for my bad english.
Okay, here my problem. when my Indy server sends bitmap frame to client, always appeared warning like this :
"EAccessViolation at address 004DD42A..."
And error syntax blue highlighted on this :
Athread.Connection.WriteInteger(MemoryStream.Size);
here my source code :
SERVER
procedure TFormHome.TCPServerConnect(AThread: TIdPeerThread);
var
NewClient: PClient;
begin
GetMem(NewClient, SizeOf(TClient));
NewClient.PeerIP := AThread.Connection.Socket.Binding.PeerIP;
NewClient.HostName := GStack.WSGetHostByAddr(NewClient.PeerIP);
NewClient.Connected := Now;
NewClient.LastAction := NewClient.Connected;
NewClient.Thread := AThread;
AThread.Data := TObject(NewClient);
try
Clients.LockList.Add(NewClient);
finally
Clients.UnlockList;
end;
procedure TFormHome.TCPServerExecute(AThread: TIdPeerThread);
var
pesan:string;
begin
pesan:=Athread.Connection.ReadLn;
if pesan = 'video' then
begin
Athread.Connection.WriteLn('send');
Timer1.Enabled:=true;
FormStream.Show;
Athread.Connection.WriteInteger(MemoryStream.Size);
Athread.Connection.OpenWriteBuffer;
Athread.Connection.WriteStream(MemoryStream);

VideoGrabber.GetBitmap(FormStream.image1.Picture.Bitmap);
pic := FormStream.Image1.Picture.Bitmap;
pic.SaveToStream(MemoryStream);
//Pic.Free;
//FreeAndNil(Pic);
end;
CLIENT
procedure TFormClient.TCPClientConnected(Sender: TObject);
var
pesan : string;
begin
IncomingMessages.Lines.Insert(0,'Connected to Server');
TCPClient.WriteLn('video');
pesan := TCPClient.ReadLn;
if pesan = 'send' then Timer1.Enabled:=true;
end;
procedure TFormClient.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
var
Size : integer;

begin

Size := TCPClient.ReadInteger;
TCPClient.ReadStream(ReadStream,Size,True);
Image1.Picture.Bitmap.LoadFromStream(ReadStream);
Image1.Picture.Bitmap.Free;
FreeAndNil(ReadStream);
end;
what's wrong witha my code? i need your help.
Thank you before.. ^^
You are trying to send the TMemoryStream before it has even been created. You can't use TTimer or TForm in a worker thread (which OnExecute is called in). Even if you could, when TTimer is enabled, its OnTimer event is not triggered immediately, but your code is expecting it to be.
You need to re-write your code to delegate all UI work to the main thread, where it belongs. Try something more like this:

Notify;
end;
end
else if pesan = 'videostop' then
begin
AThread.Connection.WriteLn('stop');
TIdNotify.NotifyMethod(VideoStop);
