Playlist with stream source
Posted: 10 Jun 2015 06:07
I am using vlc to play an audio stream through jack. I was hoping to use a playlist to provide backup content in the case that the stream fails (Internet connection loss, server goes down,etc).
when I use where playlist begins with an icecast stream, followed by local .mp3 and .wav files,
The stream begins playing normally, but if the stream fails vlc does not move on to the next item in the playlist.
If I start vlc when the stream is not live, the alternate content plays as desired when vlc times out on the stream.
Is there any way to achieve the desired behavior?
