Ts3audiobot: Configurable reconnect interval via config

Created on 21 Jan 2019 · 6Comments · Source: Splamy/TS3AudioBot

The current dynamic delay is great for endusers but hosters want to offer their customers custom reconnect intervals in the case of a bad connection or in the case the bot is required for security and has b_client_ignore_antiflood anyway.

[bot.connect]
reconnect_interval = "auto" # current system

```toml
[bot.connect]
reconnect_interval = "30s" # after 30 seconds

```toml
[bot.connect]
reconnect_interval = "-1" # never

etc...

Im thinking about a whole new section for reconnect to allow some other settings maybe :thinking:

[bot.reconnect]
ontimeout = ["30s", "repeat last"]
onkick = [] # wether to also autoreconnect if the bot was kicked
onerror = ["1m"] # wether to force trying to reconnect if the server is reachable but returned an error (ex: max clones/banned)
onshutdown = ["5s", "repeat last"] # when the bot was disconnected because of a server shutdown (in case of a server update or crash)

How to turn it off

MisterMisiek on 23 Jan 2019

[bot.connect]
reconnect_interval = [] # off
reconnect_interval = ["30s", "1m", "5m"] # intervals
reconnect_interval = ["30s", "1m", "5m", "repeat"] # or "+" or "loop" to repeat last value indefinitely

That's even better :> i would suggest using repeat last instead of repeat to avoid thinking it would loop over the whole array again

This would be useful for me. The current setup doesn't allow me to use it. I've quite a interesting predicament myself. I live somewhere where Teamspeak connecting ports are banned by the ISP so I normally connect to TS server via VPN then shut it off . The current reconnecting system is to slow that the TS BOT can't reconnect fast enough.
