Howto reconnect if connection loss with webplayer?

Postby andre85 » 28 May 2018 10:40

Hi all,
i'm using the vlc webplayer to show a video from an hd encoder in our digital signage system.

Here is my code:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> </head> <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <object classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" id="vlc" name="vlc" class="vlcPlayer" events="True" width="1280" height="720"> <param name="Src" value="rtsp://IPADDRESS:554/rtsp" /> <!-- ie --> <param name="ShowDisplay" value="True" /> <param name="AutoLoop" value="True" /> <param name="AutoPlay" value="True" /> <!-- win chrome and firefox--> <embed id="vlcEmb" type="application/x-google-vlc-plugin" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" autoplay="yes" loop="yes" width="1280" height="720" target="rtsp://IPADDRESS:554/rtsp" ></embed> </object> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc"); function player(vid) { try { var options = new Array("--rtsp-tcp","--http-reconnect"); var id = vlc.playlist.add(vid,'rtsp://IPADDRESS:554/rtsp',options); vlc.playlist.playItem(id); vlc.video.fullscreen = true; //vlc.video.toggleFullscreen(); } catch (ex) { alert(ex); } } function mute(){ vlc.audio.toggleMute(); } function play(){ vlc.playlist.play(); } function stop(){ vlc.playlist.stop(); } function pause(){ vlc.playlist.togglePause(); } function fullscreen(){ vlc.video.toggleFullscreen(); } </script> </body> </html>
We're testing a LAN connection lost ad see what happen but also with "--http-reconnect" option the video is not restarting if connection came back on.

Is there a way to make video play again on connection return?

Thanks a lot

You could use the method setTimeout, see https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 33#p473292
