playback stops sometimes #315
Description
Hi,
When playing high bandwidth video and script, playback sometimes stops for no apparent reason.
VLC doing the video playback, controlled over localhost HTTP from ScriptPlayer.
While trying to debug it, playback would stop at the same point in the video file each time. These points were scene changes.
When playback stopped, video and script playback stopped, and the "play point" returned back to the beginning of the video.
The video and script file were both mounted over a windows mapped drive over a wifi network.
Changing over to a wired network connection and the problem went away.
My theory is that due to a slightly poor network, a read from the script file is failing, and rather than ScriptPlayer retrying, it's just giving up. Reproduction is tricky, as the wifi network needs to be in just the right state of poor to reproduce.
Next time it happens, I'll try more steps to prove that theory. In the mean time if there are any useful debugging setting to set, just let me know.
The setup is:
VLC doing the video playback, controlled over localhost HTTP from ScriptPlayer.
