I am a bird biologist and we are using VLC to stream a bird nest cam from a camera installed in the nest. (http://kestrel.peregrinefund.org/webcams) Our viewers enjoy the 24/7 look into the birds incubating eggs and raising chicks.
My question is this - the stream is an RTSP stream that then is fed into OBS and streamed to Youtube. While our internet network is good most of the time, it does occasionally blip. This is unavoidable, due to internet options in our remote area. When the network blips even the slightest bit, VLC stops the stream and loses its window size. Which means I have to manually either go back, click play and resize, or remote in to do so if I am not in the office. As you can imagine, trying to keep a constant eye on the stream is somewhat of a pain, and it seems VLC stops even with the tiniest internet blip.
Is there any way to get VLC to auto-retry the stream instead of just stopping? It would save me a lot of hassle. Any suggestions or alternatives welcome. It would be nice even if VLC could just keep whatever window size locked even, so I don't have to re-size every time.
Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious
