Recover from network error (HLS mode)

Postby MatPy » 24 Mar 2020 23:38

Hi there,
I am using VLC to watch streams with Streamlink in HLS mode. If I understand it well, once the stream is launched, VLC manages network fetching and buffering by itself in this mode. Unfortunately, some network errors may happen and VLC doesn't behave very well, often exits without any alert.
Here is a extract of the logs: https://pastebin.com/JUXXDpxx
In brief, a TLS handshake failed, then the stream became broken because no data is available and the player exited directly.

My question is: is there any option to allow VLC to recover from that kind of fetching error and avoid exit?

Cheers,
Mathieu
