...it exits is fine... but maybe you've found a more elegant solution??? Care to share??? I do this basically via BASH cmd = ffmpeg..... until $cmd; do mail send a mail to alert on drop... restarting.. done I've got -hide_banner -reconnect 1 -reconnect_at_eof 1 - reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 2 in the command... but as you posted ffmpeg doesn't seem to do this well or really at all (in my view)..hence my script.... I'd like to expand this to do some transcosding MP3 to ogg even with the low, ie: 1 user who wants it, since the original streamstranscoder project is long dead...
