SFTP connections are not persistent during session
Posted: 16 Jun 2016 22:24
Not really a bug or perhaps it is, but when using my SSH server as an SFTP source I noticed that within a session VLC constantly logs out and back in.
How do I know this? Because my SSH server is set up to email me each time any logon attempt is made, and when a session logs out. So when I use VLC to find then watch a video, after 5min I ended up with over 200 messages.
No other application I have does this, so why does VLC and could it be stopped? I use the same SSH server as a source for Kodi on my phone/tablet and with my OpenELEC box, and none of them do this.
