Comment 34 for bug 790216

wrong, this is not fixed and --http-reconnect does not reconnect a RTSP stream that drops or otherwise stops wo user action.

Instead of fighting everyone the engineers should just accept that the original design was partially off, and add the feature as an option. (just like http-reconnect, add an rtsp-reconnect option). if you think its proper network etiquette to have this off, then have it off by default. but give you users the option of enabling it when needed. You really think all the replies here are from people who are trying to maliciously hammer servers? logically it doesnt make sense for something to interrupt/halt a medium like video but for when a user's action stops that video. so ADD RTSP-RECONNECT please. tks
