Wow. Excuse me for butting in but I cannot for the life of me comprehend the retardation in calling this report "Invalid"? VLC has major problems in this regard. If it's not the GUI spamming error messages as it tries to play next item in playlist when a stream fails (because it doesn't know how to wait a second or two before retrying - you have to click 'dont show me errors' to have some sanity restored), then it is the client's dismal handling of failures. In dummy mode, if a stream disconnects, the VLC process may continue to run indefinitely 'timed- out' state. If the process could die, I could use a script to re-start it, but it doesn't die. Sometimes it doesn't even show an error? This is not an Invalid report. Such classification can only rationally amount to arrogant developer denial. Which is unfortunate, because VLC remains a great tool with much more potential. But first this Quirky Shit needs to be Acknowledged. Then it needs to be fixed. Can we get past the Acknowledgement state, please ? We've been annoyed by this 'unexpected' behaviour for years already
