I'm using a very old encoder (windows media encoder) on our streaming PC, setup as a PULL service, then I installed VLC on our Icecast VPS server, using mp3 format.
Streaming PC (Windows media encoder with mmsh) ===> VPC server (VLC streaming transformed to mp3 using Icecast)
The solution works fine except the VLC constantly gets stopped, disconnected from our streaming PC, it happens 2-3 times a week, thus, we have to manually click the "Play" button to restart the service on VLC
my question is that, is there any setting to let the VLC resume the service by itself? if not, can I resume/replay it pragmatically? or at least use an API to detect the disconnection? tks in advance
