[wiktorsam]

Hi all

What i have checked:
Its not a connection problem, i tried different providers but the problem still exist, its not a Cube problem, when i use Adobe Flash Media live encoder for streaming i have the same problem.
When i use red5 server on the same machine, everything works ok.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

Zip up and send conf and logs folders to support@wowza.com.

Is the server on a public IP?

Include a link to this thread for reference.

Server is on public IP.
I sent you logs and confs, but confs are stock.
What i also checked - i installed another version of jre but without success.

Sometimes the stream lasts for just a few seconds, while other times it lasts for at most one or even a few minutes.
I also tried with Oracle java 7, but it is the same problem.
Moreover, I found the same streaming with RTMP either from ffmpeg or Wirecast.
Finally, I have tried with different players, including the client example.

Server is on a Public IP.

Indeed this error is coming with a new other weird behavior. For instance, if I try to "live-record" a stream named mp4:test2, the player says that it does not find such a stream. But if I remove the "mp4:" prefix, it is able to play those few seconds.
Also, if I stream many times with the same stream name, there is only one file in the content folder, instead of a set of files with the version suffix in their name.
In addition, and this is very weird, even when I have stop of live streaming, the player is able to play the recorded video (showing the total length of the video and allowing to seek and pause), but I mean when it is still calling the live-record application! And it happens even when I clear cache! So it must be accessing the content folder.

Could it happen that it is not taking the live-record application but perhaps only record? or something like that?

Any idea?

Thanks!
Sergio

The logs show a stream being published and a client playing it back. The destroy is the playback client, i.e., the outgoing stream being destroyed. The live stream is okay as far as the log snip you show, there is no unpublish and destroy.

Perhaps it is a high bitrate and is stalling?
