Could you please add a "Auto-reconnect"  type option for streaming live radio programming. I'm not quite sure how to word it, but for example i'm a broadcast affiliate for an syndicated talk radio show; and I receive the feed via internet stream which sometimes drops and auto DJ just starts playing music again. I apologize if this topic has already been discussed.

I do agree with this, but it may lead to a continuous loop of attempting to reconnect if the stream has gone dead. Maybe a set number of attempts or after so long, continue with the playlist.

In the meantime, try adding more than one instance of the item to play the live feed, so if the stream fails and it goes back to the playlist, the next item would be to play the stream again. Remember though if doing this to renew the playlist before the live feed ends, or it will go dead trying to load the live feed again when it has finished.

I haven't seen that topic before...   I +1 :)

The best would be to have RDJ going on the playlist in case of stream failure,
BUT, trying to reconnect, and of course, going back to stream if connexion succed.

As Derek said, would be interesting to have a retry limit.
Maybe more in minutes than in tries...
