How can I check when the connection to the RTSP server has been
broken due to network failure? I have a RTSP client streaming video
and saving this to disk using a MediaSink. Is there a way to
specify a timeout on the RTP socket and then have a callback on this
timeout?
I suggest using "TaskScheduler::scheduleDelayedTask()" to set up a
'watchdog timer' immediately after you've gotten a response from the
RTSP "PLAY" command, and reset this timer each time new data arrives
in your 'sink' object. (You can do this by subclassing your sink
class, and redefining the "continuePlaying()" virtual function to
reset the watchdog timer (and then call the parent class's
"continuePlaying()".)
This will check not only for 'network failure', but also for the server dying.
You can reset the watchdog timer using
"TaskScheduler::rescheduleDelayedTask()".
