[vlc-devel] interruption during network stream

[Romuald DELAVERGNE]

Hi,

At line 344 of src/input/input.c source file we have:

        if( i_count == 0 && p_input->stream.b_connected )
        {
            /* End of file - we do not set b_die because only the
             * playlist is allowed to do so. */
            msg_Info( p_input, "EOF reached" );
            p_input->b_eof = 1;
        }

But if there is an interruption which takes enough time to empty the buffer, vlc stops. That's why I propose to test if all datas are received to know if the stream is finished and to try to reconnect to the server in the other case.

Something like that:
