Live stream stuttering and disconnects


Is there a way to deal with unreliable live streams? I have a couple feeds that sometimes start to freeze every few seconds. This is when I play them in my browser and when I have it sent via rtmpdump to VLC.

Also, these streams are not watchable in VLC. Besides the freezing, after a short time watching, VLC stops and rtmpdump says something like "ERROR: RTMP_ReadPacket, failed to read RTMP packet body. len: 4696".

I've tried adding "--live-caching" to the command, but it doesn't help any.

Code:
D:\Programs\rtmpdump\rtmpdump.exe -r rtmp://d.cdn.msnbclive.eu/edge -W http://msnbclive.eu/player.swf -y msnbc_live -v | "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --live-caching 60000 -
