MinimStreamer reconnect when recording
Guys, my internet can be a little tempormental and more often than not when I'm recording BBC Radio One for 6 hours it'll puke because of a ISP interruption and I get a partial recording. Is there a config item to make MinimStreamer reconnect and either append to the partial recording or create another file with the rest of the audio in it ?
Thanks a lot Andy |

How long are the network interruptions? |

On Friday and today I got 18 minutes of audio and 1.25 hours respectively, I'm theorizing that the stream pukes because I have my kids playing Minecraft, I'm running Citrix and my wife is watching YouTube. Plausible ? Maybe I need to slim down the stream ? I'm using the non-uk lower bit-rate AAC stream for BBC Radio 1..... |

If you can correlate the recording failures with other network activity, it is very likely that the other network activity is causing the failures. In theory, it would be possible for MinimStreamer to attempt to reconnect to a recorded stream after an occasional random problem. In your situation, it sounds like trying to do this would result in repeated failures and increased network load. It sounds like you are already using the "slimmest" stream, so no further slimming would be poissible. |

Are you suggesting that MinimStreamer can reconnect as it stands through some additional configuration. Or would a code enhancement be required ? |

You might be able to reduce the number of failures by using the delayHLS option as described in this section. Try setting delayHLS=20 to see if this makes a difference. |

Please do the following: 1) From the minim icon, select 'Show log' 2) In the log window, change the logging level to Debug 3) Leave the logging window open 4) Start a recording 5) When the recording stops unexpectedly, click 'Save as' in the log window to save a log file 6) Zip the log file and attach it to a post here as a file attachment (not pasted inline) 7) In the log window, change the logging level back to Info This log information might help me find a way of preventing the recording stopping immediately when there is a network error. |
