Input strema lost

[Idsa]

I need to handle the situation when LAN-camera signal is lost during the recording. I have found the following code at VLC sources (media_player.c):

else if( newval.i_int == INPUT_EVENT_ABORT )
{
libvlc_state_t libvlc_state = libvlc_Stopped;
event.type = libvlc_MediaPlayerStopped;

set_state( p_mi, libvlc_state );
libvlc_event_send( p_mi->p_event_manager, &event );
}

So I hoped MediaPlayerStopped would be raised. But it is not raised But VLC works correctly when I plug-out my LAN-camera cabel. Could you provide me a better way of handling this situation?

Well, the issue is that it isn't stopped, it just doesn't receive frames.

But there is surely some mechanism for such situations in VLC player.
I have just plugged out my camera cabel, VLC waited for about half a minute and then stopped. Could you tell me where I can find how it works in VLC?

The RTSP timeout was probably 30 seconds.
