I tried streaming with icecast2 during pandemic and always got dropped connections in tens of minutes. It drove me mad. And it's impossible to detect in advance, receivers skip for seconds till new connection is made. From packet captures it appears as dropped ack packets. It was https so copyright filters are unlikely.
Are there different solutions, different protocols, ideally supported by browser in some simple manner? Is streaming over websocket possible?
I am planning to add other restreaming options such as RTMP or HLS. So far, my test stream is running for more than 10h and did not have a single dropout.
