Network requests for media fragments that fail are retried a certain number of times. The number of retries for each fragment request can be set using the
--fragment-retriescommandline argument (default is 10). Network errors that are identified as being transient (for example, network timeouts) do not count towards this retry count. Network requests were previously retried only if they were identified as transient, but anecdotally it seems that the internet and CDN servers are not set up in a way that allows transient errors reliably to be distinguished from non-transient errors. Non-transient retries still count towards themax_error_count, whose default value is increased to 30. -
Error messages include additional contextual information. For example, a network connection error caused by a TLS configuration error will include information on the underlying issue.
