>Does anyone have any player suggestions for this setup? VLC does have an automatic "reconnect" feature. I don't think it is enabled by default though and the setting for it is a little hard to find. I prefer mplayer because it simply exits when the stream is lost. This allows me to log the event in the script and make some decisions about what to do about this, typically to simply launch mplayer again and reconnect. Yes, many players just "sit there" with a stream is interrupted, which is hard to deal with. >The biggest challenge with Silentjack is it currently has no provision >for what to do when audio returns. Good point. I'm thinking you can have your script attempt some corrective action, then kill silent jack, then restart it and see if it trips again (as in see if your "fix" did in fact fix the problem). _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
