Protocol rollover support
It would be cool if VLC supported something like a protocol rollover mechanism, much like WM server has as well. Multicast, UDP, TCP, HTTP etc.
However, how spec compliant can this be?
We require a timeout on udp connecting. Beyond this a playlist file can be used to do a form of protocol rollover when one of the links fails ( or implement this in the new style playlist system [only advance index on failure]).
