Comment 8 for bug 790216

Well the specified video is just an example and it doesn't always fail. Sometimes you can play a stream for an hour witjout a glitch, sometimes after just a couple of minutes you observe the issue. Just one 10 minutes test does not prove nothing.

Yes there is a bug in VLC, and I explained what the bug is: that when there is a failure playing the stream, it does not retry to ensure robustness. The fact that you cannot reproduce a failure does not mean that the bug is not there: to say the bug is invalid you should observe that where there _is_ a streaming issue VLC resumes gracefully.

Also, note the doesn't-remember-playhead-position issue, which is very clear and plainly wrong.

I don't understand your closing the bug just because the reporter doesn't provide a patch. I am not a developer. If bugs were to be reported only when someone was able to provide a fix, then bug trackers wouldn't need to exist.

Please close this when you really observe that the issue is invalid, or when it is fixed (or if you find out it is a duplicate or whatever), but closing it because it is _not_ fixed or because you cannot even reproduce the situation where the issue can be observed or not observe, does not make much sense
