(Note that a TCP connection can stay alive for a long time after the remote end dies, so you can't reliably detect this from the TCP connection.)</div><div><br></div><div>You can detect this in "openRTSP" using the "-D <maximum-inter-packet-gap>" option; see <a href="http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/#playing-time">http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/#playing-time</a></div><div><br></div><div>Note, however, that "openRTSP" uses a single connection only, and does not - by itself - attempt to reconnect to a dead server. If you want to do that, you'll need to run "openRTSP" a separate time, e.g. from a shell script.</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
