Backup video loop if Stream is down
Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add a video file to the pkg and get it to loop
if the stream is not responding / drops?
Example issues:
App launches
Connect to URL stream
Success
1.5 hours later
Stream Drops
Play Builtin Video loop (please stand by)
Try connecting to URL stream
when connection is successful drop loop and continue to play.
thanks.

That's what I need. I hope someone posts code to do this.

I'd think all you need to do is listen for the isRequestFailed() event to start the "stand by" loop, then periodically test the stream using roUrlTransfer.
