Re: long lectures over unreliable network |

This sounds like an insane thing to do : Like :
Patient : 'Doctor - it hurts when I bang my head against a wall'
Doctor : 'Don't do it then !'
If you insist on unplugging your network, all sorts of things*might*
be happening, including reallocation of any dynamic IP address,
restart of the system service, loss of keep-alive information between
client and server, the presumption by an MMS server that any sort of
'session' (not the correct term) between the client and server has
been terminated (and thus to ensure resources aren't drained or DOS'd,
the session information is discarded).
BTW You didn't say *which* network cable was disconnected - for almost
eveybody there will be *at least* two, that sort of stuff is important
(as well as not disconnecting it in the first place)
Now, leaving aside the simulation, what's your *real* problem ?

I start watching a lecture. Sound comes from a MS Media Server (mms://...). The player buffers 15% of a one hour lecture within the first two minutes of playing. At this point, I unplug my network cable for a minute or so then plug it back. The player keep playing for about 10 minutes. Then it stopps and indicator goes back to the beginning.
The problem is the player does not resume downloading once network becomes available again. Anyone know how to solve it? |
