6 years later and VLC has not improved regarding this issue What gets me is Remi's comment
"VLC does not stop at the slightest interruption. If there is transient packet loss, playback will be paused when the input buffers underflow, until the buffers refill to a reasonable level. This is a bit annoying, but it is unavoidable." The feed literally "stops" which implies the disconnection of feed which is what we want to avoid... VLC shouldn't make that decision, that decision should be based on the actual connection state. So why not make an option for people decide how long they'd like VLC would wait? Streaming or restreaming an unstable feed causes VLC to stop and reconnect causing issues with synchronization of the streaming feed in many cases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/790216 Title: Make vlc more resilent with unreliable streaming content To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vlc/+bug/790216/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
