Web stream handling

Hi Bernd,
I would like to play an external stream. When the connection is dropped, the next track plays immediatly, it is really good to prevent silence. In other cases, i would like it try to reconnect until it is available. I checked the KeepStreamAlive option, it reconnects but when the stream become available, it doesn't play automatically (I have to click on the play button).
Is it normal behaviour or a bug?
Thanks

From what you say it sounds like the MODStream Watcher feature :-)
Take a look here:

Interesting feature, but I just want the stream reconnects and restart playing when it's available, eg if the connection drops for 10 seconds (I agree it will result in 10 sec of silence). Actually all the players switch to pause...

Have you also tried the KeepStreamLoading as well as the KeepStreamAlive option?!
PLUS you must give a dedicated playout length (Duration) to the URL-Stream - else it won't work.

I tried what you say, but it does the same result : the streams stops playing if i drop/reconnect my network connection.

So you are talking about a regular URL playlist entry?

Yes, using the LoadTrack mode inside a script.
