Live Streaming MPD Contain Misalignment Segment Start Time

Wowza Streaming Engine
#1

Live streaming (MPEG-DASH) provide MPD file that contain different segment start time.

I am streaming 9 streams of 3 different resolutions (27 streams total) and i am using Wowza packager.

My MPD file contain 3 adaptation sets and each adaptation set contain a SegmentTimeline (List of segments)-

The first segment have “t” (time) and “d” (duration).

So, totally we have 3 first-segments with “t” attribute (for each adaptation set).

the value of one of them is not equal to the 2 others.

Here is my MPD file:

You can see the misalignment:

<code><S t="212758470" d="45000"/>


<code><S t="212713470" d="45000"/>


<code><S t="212758470" d="45000"/>

My questions is:

  • This is valid situation?
  • If yes, What the reason for this misalignment?
  • If no, How can I fix it?

Please note that this misalignment not happened in all MPD’s, its happened sometimes.

My goal is getting exactly same SegmentTemplate for each adaptation set.
