Description
Using v0.27.2 with Linux Mageia 6.
Reproduction steps
Change channel through a playlist of rtsp urls with --rtsp-transport=udp . URLs are TV channels from french internet provider named Free, see the log.
Expected behavior
Previous UDP stream must be stopped before new one is opened. This is VLC behaviour with the same playlist.
Actual behavior
Previous UDP stream is stopped 15 seconds after, if bandwidth is not enough it prevents playing the new stream.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a playlist of the linked RTSP URLs and --rtsp-transport=udp, then inspect the attached mpv.log around channel changes and stream shutdown. Done means the previous UDP stream is stopped before the next stream opens, without the reported 15-second delay or bandwidth-related playback failure.
