Stream targets transcode issue

Stream targets were created from Server A -> Server B.

After setting the transcode,
When receiving A’s a.stream from the incoming B server, automatically transcoded a.stream / a.stream_aac is created.

If a.stream of server A is cut off at a random time,

On server B
a.stream disappears. However, the transcoded a.stream_aac does not disappear.
Therefore, when a.stream is restarted on server A, a.stream is activated on server B, but a.stream_aac is still in a zombie state with stream inbound of 0bit.

To solve this problem, only restarting the Wowza engine is the answer.

Is there another way?

I wonder why a.stream_aac doesn’t disappear.

This will require full access to your config files and logs in order to test.
