How to auto-reconnect to an (ASF) MMS stream?

Hello,

I'm looking for the best way to save the MMS stream of a TV program (using Linux as my the OS for my computer), which 1) often has general connection problems (when watching it using the VLC frontend its playback sometimes gets interrupted or the vision gets blurry for a few seconds) - It seems that this problem got solved by the "--network-caching=1500" parameter I specified.
However, 2) sometimes the connection gets reset completely. So I need a solution, which provides a caching option and which automatically reconnects in order to write to the same output file when the connection drops.

This is the command which I use so far:

Code: Select all

clvc mms://xxx.xxx --no-repeat --network-caching=1500 --sout=file/avi:"tvstream$(date +%F).avi"
Actually it works very well regarding the first issue, but I need to find a solution for making clvc automatically reconnect if the connection fails, as I wrote above. Could someone help me with that?


Kinds regards and thanks in advance
