How can I detect failure from av_interleaved_write_frame/av_write_frame when the output uses TLS and the connection fails? Both functions continue to return 0 after the destination becomes unavailable. When TLS isn't used, the functions detect the failure immediately and return -ve return codes.
TLS output:
av_interleaved_write_frame st.tb=90000, result=0
Non-TLS output:
av_interleaved_write_frame failed result=-32 - Broken pipe
This behaviour can also be demonstrated using the command-line tool.
Expected Result for plain connection - Connection failure terminates program:
$ ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://<rtsp_source>:554... -vcodec copy -an -f rtsp "rtsp://<rtsp_dest>:1935..."

I need to be able to detect the failure in av_interleaved_write_frame so that I can re-initiate the connection.
