I have read the manual but don't understand how that will work with a live
stream. Do you think curl has a similar option?
Thanks!
For example go here (random example)

Note the channel called "Easy Hits Florida"? One of the playlist formats they
offer is M3U. Right click the link, copy link location.
Pop open a terminal, mkdir you a new folder and cd into it. Then run wget

curl -b /tmp/c -c /tmp/c "http://87.118.84.56:9984/listen.pls; >
radio_show.flv
right click on the generated flv file and open with vlc

I haven't used curl but expect it would also be able to use lists.
How to do that with a live streaming? Like an m3u8 or something like that?
Try totem or mplayer. If it's a networking problem, you could point e.g. wget
to start getting the file and then after it has gotten a chunk of it as a
buffer start watching the file as it downloads.
One thing you can do to alleviate such problems is put VLC on repeat. In the
case of live streams, "repeating" is just reconnecting.
Well, a m3u(8) is but an ascii list of files, local or remote. So, acquire
the m3u file and feed it to wget -ib to get the contents and then point your
media player of choice to the downloaded file(s). (You could parse the m3u to
make a local playlist for the media player.)
It may not actually be a VLC problem but in other areas like networking.
I've tried checking the boxes for "Continuous stream" and "Auto re-connect"
in the options, but I still find VLC disconnects me from http live streams
somewhat frequently and I have to manually reload every time. Does anyone
have any suggestions (for vlc options or other players I could
