cupertinostreamingpacketizer

[DiegoDPY]

When re-streaming from shoutcast and the mp3 audio is still filling the shoutcast server's buffer (at this stage, the mp3 audio is not yet available for playing), the cupertinostreamingpacketizer on Wowza is showing "hunting" on the screen and sending the CPU to a 100% spike.

Hope this is clear. Both servers are running on the same machine though.

Thanks guys for this magnificent product.

Does it work properly once the SHOUTcast buffer is full?

Yes it does, it goes back to normal once the stream is available.

I am surprised the cpu goes up to 100%. Does it log a ton of error/warning messages very, very quickly?

That's exactly what happens. I tested it on several computers.

So does it log a ton of error messages, is that what is leading the 100% cpu. Can you send me a log file with the logging so I can see what is going on (support@wowzamedia.com).

When I get a chance I will dig into this. It probably will not be until mid-January.

Hi Charlie,

According to the change log, this issue has been fixed, correct?

Thank you

[charlie]

Maybe, I really didn't have a good way to test it. I did change the SHOUTcast reconnector to try and alleviate the problem. Is there anyway you can test and let me know.

I tested it again, this time with Patch2 and the issue is still there. It only happens with shoutcast mp3 streaming though, and I believe it's the logging part causing this issue as it tries to log too many 'WARN ... Hunting' messages.

Quick fix: change the logging config param from INFO to ERROR.
