This is if I do a seek while the stream is disconnected, then it never reconnects. In some cases I play a 10s loop where a timer do a seek every 10s and jumps back (using absolute seeking). Those streams never reconnect after a disconnection.</span></span><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:13.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>OK, so unless you can tell me a reliable way to reproduce this problem (perhaps using "openRTSP), then you'll need to figure out yourself why the LIVE555 library's connection reestablishment code is not working in this case (and then I'll try to fix it).
