Keep RTSP connection alive

[learnermaxRL]

Can you tell me how to keep the rtsp connection alive,my connection keep dropping after 10-15 seconds consistently

Try using the package with "verbose=True", and also check what version you are using. The newest version v1.1.4 makes a new connection every time a read occurs to avoid buffer issues, while v1.1.3 tries to keep the connection alive all the time.

Not working,I am on latest version still connection closes after few seconds

@statueofmike would you be able to make this an option rather than forcing a reconnection every time?
This seems to be severely affecting my possible framerate...

I agree. Making a new connection for every read in order to avoid buffering issues is a little too drastic if you ask me. It makes the library unusable in practice: there's no way you could ever get any decent frame rate in any scenario with that approach. I'm personally holding to one or the first versions of the project when it still had a thread that was permanently fetching frames and you always had the last frame fetched easily available for quick access. The only pitfall with that version was that it would lose the connection after n dropped frames (and sadly not reconnect again after that).. but that could have been easily solved. Very useful and simple library, I just dont agree with the latest criteria of making a new connection for every read. It will just never work for me. I wonder if for anyone.

Making it configurable is doable, but I don't know how much time I'll have to make the connection robust.

closing per f9ddb7b

please let me know any suggestions here or for #13, which was why I closed the connection earlier
