Retry video connection on failure
victor-david opened this issue · comments
If the video can't be streamed (camera turned off, network outage, etc.) an error is displayed and that's it. You can add the camera to the wall again (which causes the plugin to reinitialize and try again), but it would be nice to have an automatic retry. Likely would want a maximum number of retires, perhaps configurable.
3600be3 handles implementation of retry for RTSP only. The number of tries and the time to wait between tries can be specified in the connection parms. Currently, these values stay with their defaults and are not connected to the UI or associated with a particular camera. But they're sufficiently surfaced to be able to do that if needed. Next step is to implement the retry for the MJPEG video handler.
