Hi,

When playing a RTSP source (RTP/AVP/UDP), if the connection is lost, the player waits 10s from the last datagram to detect disconection or stream end. I've been looking at the commandline interface and it's supposed that the --rtp-timeout=# controls this behaivour but when used it's ignored. I've also tryed to set up the parameter as per media parameter with :rtp-timeout=# but same behaivour. Any tips?

Thanks.

According to this post, the timeout option is hardcoded and can't be changed.

Is it that you get a disconnection and you don't want it to ever time out?
Have you tried using the ":loop" parameter? When VLC terminates the stream, the loop option would make VLC loop back the play list, which means re-starting the RTSP stream.

Mr alkizmo

You masterfully resolved.
my respectful greetings.
