Recording causes periodical "Connection losst"

[wasikan-git]

Hi!
First of all I really appreciate your work. EngPlayer is by far the most well designed player I've tested so far.
Nevertheless there's an issue when recording a live show or VOD. Every 45 seconds or so I'm getting the "Connection lost. Reconnecting" message. The issue is resolution independent (affects HD and FHD channels equally) and dissappears after turning off the recording.

Kind regards
Andrzej

I'm pretty confident this is caused by a provider-side connection limit on your account. Most standard IPTV accounts only allow 1 active connection, and starting a recording opens a 2nd connection at the same time (playback + recording each connect separately), which is likely why it keeps dropping every ~45s.

Could you test this with a free M3U/test stream (there are some on GitHub) that doesn't have a connection limit? If it works fine there without disconnects, that would confirm it's the provider's restriction and not something on EngPlayer's side.

Yes, you are right. I've tested the player with one of the free lists and it works OK. That is quite unfortunate since, I believe, many users have only one connection available.
