Network Error State Not Triggered During Live Stream

[JulienDev]

Describe the bug
While testing network error handling on my Apple TV, I noticed that network errors (like disconnecting the internet) don't trigger expected error states or callbacks. After starting a live stream and then disconnecting the internet from my router, the Apple TV's state remains on buffering instead of changing to an error state. Additionally, the onFinish callback, which I expected to handle the error, is never called.

To Reproduce

1. Start a live stream on Apple TV.
2. After a few minutes, disconnect the internet connection for the Apple TV from the router.
3. Wait and observe the behavior of the live stream.

Expected behavior
The state changes to an error to reflect the lost connection.
The onFinish callback is triggered to handle the error.
Actual Outcome:

Actual behavior
The state stays at buffering and doesn't change to an error state.
The onFinish callback is not called at all.

Question
Is there a different method to detect network errors in this scenario?

Platform (please complete the following information):

• Device: TvOS
• OS: 17.2

因为我内部有加了网络错误自动重试的逻辑。所以没有回调onFinish方法。

Ah, okay. But when the internet connection is restored, streaming playback doesn't resume on my end. Is there a way to disable automatic retries so I can handle errors manually?

[kingslay]

是有开关可以把自动重试关掉的。但是这边还有一个问题点是： 为什么网络恢复了，不能继续播放。这个很奇怪。你的直播网络中断了多久呢？

[JulienDev]

I think I restored the connection after 2-3 minutes

[kingslay]

那你可以试下只中断30秒到70s。看下是不是能够恢复播放。看下是不是中断太久造成的。

[JulienDev]

After re-enabling the internet connection just a few seconds later, the video playback does not resume and remains halted.

你可以看下TracyPlayer 会不会有这个问题

[JulienDev]

Same with TracyPlayer, even after re-enabling the internet connection, video playback never resume

我这边试了下。我的app应该在网络断开一会儿之后 就可以显示播放失败。然后网络恢复之后 点播放按钮就可以继续播放了

On my Apple TV TracyPlayer is only showing a loader forever (tried for around 30 minutes)
