[FFmpeg-user] Is there a way to reconnect to a RTSP stream after it disappears from the network?

No, this is a cheap IP camera, supporting only RTSP or/and some
proprietary protocol if you use their android app. I don't want to
use the app, and since it gives me the RTSP stream, I wanted to
record it from time to time. FFmpeg does it without problems, but
it fails when can't connect to the camera. With the systemd service,
everything works just fine, but what if I got some other system
without systemd? So I'm still looking for some more universal solution.
