Question / Help Restarting an IP-Cam-Stream when it becomes invisible?

Hi all!

i use an IP-cam as a media source over rtmp. Picture quality is good and the delay is only about 5 seconds, that's decent. But after a while the delay increases more and more, which can be up to a minute and that's too much.

If i restart the source when it becomes visible all is great again, but in the beginning the cam stops for about 5 seconds.

I thought about restarting the cam once it becomes invisible, because it is part of a round scene trip, but there is no option for that. Is there any workaround i can use to restart the source when it becomes invisible? Or maybe is there another way of reaching the goal of synching up the cam without having a freeze frame in the beginning?

Thanks so much for your support and all the best from Germany!

I used the VLC plugin to fix a similar problem. With the VLC plugin you can set the buffer time and it stays the same over time.

Thanks for your reply! As far as i experienced, VLC can't handle rtmp but only rtsp. Is there a way to make it work with rtmp? I haven't found one yet.
