[FFmpeg-user] How do I set a timeout for an RTSP source?

>How can I set a timeout on either connection attempts or after x seconds if encoding cannot start?  Can FFmpeg be configured to continue to try to reconnect for a longer period?

Is there any suggestion on how to prevent FFmpeg from stalling when opening an RTSP source has failed? 

Thanks,
