[vlc] Re: reconnect on lost stream

[Franz]

Hi Stefan

Seems to be a known problem with vlc. I reported it here 
<http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=32825&highlight=> some time 
ago, but no replies received to-date.

My audio workaround is simply using  SDP <http://sdp.ppona.com/> under 
wine. This may also work for your video.
BTW, its furtunate that SDP works, many apps don't work under wine in my 
Ubuntu Dapper distro.

Good luck
Franz
