[FFmpeg-user] ffmpeg doesn't reconnect when capturing live connections

[arthurpeabody]

I capture live streams.  When a stream drops ffmpeg stops capturing, doesn't reconnect, and keeps running after the time limit.  For example:

ffmpeg -i https://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream-redirect/KUNMFM_32.mp3 -t 180 -reconnect true -reconnect_streamed true -reconnect_on_network_error true -timelimit 180 -loglevel warning kunm_StarDate-20250111-1800.mp3 

I used to use streamripper, which keeps on trying to reconnect for the time specified and quits when the time expires, but works only for icecast and shoutcast streams.
