There is one case where it doesn't work though, and I'm not sure how to handle it. This is if I do a seek while the stream is disconnected, then it never reconnects. In some cases I play a 10s loop where a timer do a seek every 10s and jumps back (using absolute seeking). Those streams never reconnect after a disconnection.
OK, so unless you can tell me a reliable way to reproduce this problem (perhaps using "openRTSP), then you'll need to figure out yourself why the LIVE555 library's connection reestablishment code is not working in this case (and then I'll try to fix it). Remember, You Have Complete Source Code. The place to look in the code is near the start of "RTSPClient::sendRequest()" (line 535 of "liveMedia/RTSPClient.cpp"). When you do your 'seek' (really "PLAY") operation (that's failing), then is "fInputSocketNum" <0? If so, then what value does "openConnection()" return. If, however, "fInputSocketNum" is >= 0 (in practice, it will be >0), then we will (eventually) call "send()" (at line 787) to transmit the command. Is this "send()" call succeeding, or not? I don't believe there is a loop functionality in openRTSP, so I can't think of a way to recreate it there. In simple words, what I do is: 1. Play a non-live stream. 2. Pull the plug on the server side (shouldn't matter if client side though), and put it back. 3. Do one, or many, seek (PLAY-command using absolute time) on the stream while not connected. 4. When connection works again, the stream will not continue, while other streams will. I will do some testing and look up the lines you're referring to. Will get back when I've some answers for you. I see a few alternatives: No, there's only one 'alternative': Figure out why the LIVE55 code is (apparently) failing in this case, so I can fix the problem. Trying instead to work around this problem yourself might help you in the short term, but wouldn't help anyone else. I of course totally agree on that. Guess I considered that it potentially could be a known issue that was hard to fix. /Claes
