I currently use a Wowza Server that is provided and supported by a third party, the issue below does not exist on our current production server using the same configuration.
I’m setting up Wowza on a hosted server to self-manage and have an issue with the higher quality live stream pausing about every 10-11 sec, this same stream configuration works without issue for VOD.
Server has 32 cores, 64GB Memory, +10 Gigabit NIC.
I’m publishing via rtmp two multi bitrate streams using a smil file for playback with jw player:
This configuration works with no pausing:
800Kb/64Kb
500Kb/64Kb
250Kb/64Kb
This configuration has the pausing issue:
2800Kb/128Kb
2000Kb/128Kb
1400Kb/128Kb
I’ve looked at all the setting for the live application and performance tuning but not seeing exactly what needs to change to resolve this issue.
