"Actual behaviour is expected and suggested behaviour is invalid" this is a classic case of "functions as designed" when the problem is that it was designed poorly.

I have been streaming video from a gopro camera with it's own wifi network to VLC and then rebroadcasting my screen over google hangouts - see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9Q5Y6iiNgE&src_vid=4g2WhBRc7vo&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_231482

So, developers, here is a new use case for you. Because of this "plonk" I can't accomplish my goal of livestreaming from my gopro!

I just wish it would keep streaming or at least try and re-connect to the stream. I am often not at the same place as my camera when this happens, and I am unable to hit the play button to restart the stream....

And I thought I would comment because I found your comment so laughable. Engineers! thinking inside the box since the box was unboxed.
