(Migrated from code.vtopia.live)

A streamer's internet connection is not always perfect, so we should support live streams having discontinuity.

This appears to be supported in vhs, although i am unsure of how to get ffmpeg to produce playlist files that meet the criteria. Additionally, special handling will be needed on the frontend to display such a state, both while live and while in a replay.

Admins should be allowed to configure how long a stream can be offline before the next segment recieved makes it into a new session, with special notice made that if the user is broadcasting to a "normal" live, this will mean that they may not be able to automatically reconnect.
