Stream crashing after a while

Bug Report

• This is a bug report and I have read the contribution guidelines.

Description

After some time playing (sometimes a minute, sometimes 30), the remote stream is crashing, although it works fine on VLC desktop for example.

Expected / Actual behavior

I would like for the stream to continue on, or even try to reconnect automatically if it crashes. Right now it is crashing after some minutes, using VLC or OMXPlayer on Raspberry Pi 4.

Reproduction steps / Explicit stream URLs to test

I’m using a Raspberry Pi (same behavior on a Raspberry Pi A (yes the first Raspberry Pi generation) and a Raspberry Pi 4). Tried over WiFi and Ethernet so the link doesn’t seem to be the problem.

1. Run streamlink https://sarralbe.hdr-tv.com/live/sarralbe/sarralbe.stream/manifest_w1345660299.mpd best --player vlc --fifo (--fifo doesn’t seem to change a thing)
2. Wait until it crashes.

No that’s what I wrote, streamlink command is on the first post but it works quite badly.

[GilDev]

Thanks, my script worked for 6 days straight and then started glitching, it may be because the WiFi link is a bit weak sometimes because of the WiFi USB dongle, but I would have guessed it would restart if it failed or crash… Why wouldn’t cvlc be your choice then? Streamlink is just a wrapper when used with cvlc, and it won’t work for me… Also yeah I want real-time video as birds are sometimes quite active and it’s fun to see them eat for example.
