flvrec.py won't stop when remote host is down.

[websafe]

flvrec.py won't stop recording when the remote VNC host is turned off.
After shutting down the remote host flvrec.py is still recording and the flv file
is growing, but nothing is recorded. When the remote host is up again,
flvrec.py won't reconnect automatically, because it's still recording... nothing
from the last session :-)

Expected behavior:

1. stop recording and exit flvrec.py when the remote host is not "broadcasting"

or

2. wait until the remote host is up again then reconnect and continue recording.

Or is there a way around this?

Update: I've found a way around using Bash + -S, I'm currently testing,
I'll let you know if it works as expected.

hi i am getting an error 'Socket error: [Errno 111] Connection refused
stop recording ' is it because at VNC server is not up ?

I'm getting the same when I run flvrec pointing to a VNC server that is already down. But try this scenario:

1. Start a VNC server on a remote machine.
2. Start recording using flvrec.py
3. Shutdown the remote machine.

In my case flvrec is still recording and the resulting flv file is growing.
