Automatically recover from crashing web plugin

[plind]

Hi,

I want to leave Chrome (26.0.1.1410.43) with the VLC 2.0.6 Web Plugin running for an extended period of time (showing a network stream). However, after an undetermined number of hours, the plugin always crashes. This is on Windows 7, 64 bit. I'm using VLC 2.0.6 32 bit. This also happens with Firefox 20.

It would be great if the plugin would never crash, obviously. But a workaround would be to have Chrome (or Firefox) automatically restart when the plugin crashes. Does anyone know if and how this can be done?

Thanks, Pascal
