Videos pause when android box loses connection to output

[melmak]

Hello,

I have a H96Max RK3318 android TV box. It's connected via HDMI to an encoder device that captures video and can create streams for my decoder device. I use this setup to play looped videos (for example ads) on different displays.

My issue is that whenever I reboot the encoder all the videos playing on VLC are paused, so I have to go to each box and press play. But on another android box (H96 MAX+) I don't have this issue (again using VLC) and the video continues playing if the encoder is rebooting. I wonder if there are any settings in VLC that I can change to make the video continue even though the encoder is rebooting. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks!


VLC version 3.1.6

Box info
Model: H96Max RK3318

Some logs would be useful to understand what is happening here.
Could you please reproduce the issue and then go to: Settings > Advanced > Debug logs. Then share the logs with the sharing service you prefer (Google Drive, Dropbox, pastebin...).
