Auto http stream reconnect?

[dan86]

Hi,

I am streaming across the network via vlc http to another pc running vlc and using http://10.0.0.54:1234 for the stream url. My question is can I set my client to auto reconnect if the stream goes off?

The shortcut I have setup is:

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://10.0.0.54:1234 can I add something to the end of this?

Code: Select all

      --http-reconnect, --no-http-reconnect
                                 Auto re-connect (default disabled)
          Automatically try to reconnect to the stream in case of a sudden
          disconnect. (default disabled)

Thanks VLC Help,

I have put --http-reconnect before the IP. When I stop the stream on the server to test and then resume the vlc client doesn't try and reconnect? Is there a delay on reconnections or am I doing something wrong?

What does VLC log (Tools -> Messages... and set Verbosity to 2) say when you try it?

You could try
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --repeat http://10.0.0.54:1234

I know this works for an mms stream. It does tend to send a lot of reconnect traffic though.
