Expected Behavior
Streams should be able to reconnect without issue.
Current Behavior
SRT stream from Larix on Android fails to reconnect when stopped while OBS is recording.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open OBS with Media Source containing SRT URL.
- Launch external stream app, and start recording in OBS
- Restart stream. Won't reconnect.
- Stop recording in OBS. Stream will instantly reconnect.
Anything else we should know?
Interestingly with 26.1.1 it has a hard time reconnecting regardless of recording status. So SRT stability has improved in v27, but still not 100%. (Opinion: as SRT is all about providing stability and a robust stream under any circumstances, hopefully this and any other stability related issues can be resolved, else users might not trust being able to leave OBS/SRT unattended.)

Research direction
Start with the OBS Studio log URL and reproduce the listed Media Source workflow using an SRT stream from Larix on Android while recording. Compare reconnect behavior during recording and after recording stops; done means the stream reconnects reliably without stopping the recording.
