IP Camera not automatically reconnecting

[dsmccurdy]

I have several IP Cameras Viewers on several pages all are JPEG Stills. Every once in a while the server will return a connection refused error. I have Retry Delay set to 5,000 and Connection Retries set to 9,999,999 but they never reconnect. The window must be closed are reopened.

Check the settings on the camera system. They may be a setting regarding connection time.

Does the camera allow multiple connections? If not, it’s possible the connection is blocked while the timeout is happening. Enlarging the delay in Ignition might be worth trying.

IP camera status - how to catch "Stream ended." status

Is there any way to programmatically monitor the status (quality) of the IP Camera component’s video stream? Seems like there would be some response code attribute available to check if/when things go wrong. There are two situations I need to catch if possible: When the number of connect retries has been reached When (for whatever reason) the stream ends inadvertently. Is there any hidden properties that can be used in scripting (eg. property change scripts) to catch these events?
