Description

#### Issue details
Mission Planner seems to crash almost immediately when opening an MJPEG stream. To reproduce just "Set MJPEG Source" and wait a few seconds.

I was able to reproduce this issue with the following public stream: https://webcam1.lpl.org/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

More streams for testing are available [here](https://en.ipcams.ch/WebCam.aspx?nr=1729).

#### Version
1.3.70

#### Platform
[ X ] All
[ ] AntennaTracker
[ ] Copter
[ ] Plane
[ ] Rover
[ ] Sub

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash in Mission Planner using Set MJPEG Source with the linked public stream, then trace the failure in the MJPEG-stream opening path. Done means Mission Planner remains usable instead of crashing when opening the reported stream, with the reproduction scenario covered by an appropriate regression check.
