Hello! When playing our livestream using HLS, the video will skip ahead about 10-15 seconds and freeze. Audio will continue as normal until it catches up with the video and then it will play fine for a while until it happens again.
For testing, our setup is basic. We have Makito encoders publishing 36 streams to our Wowza server with TS-UDP. We are using simple stream names with just one live application. Here are some configuration settings for each part:
MakitoX2 encoder
Video Out: 720p
FPS: 60
GOP: 120
UDP Port: 10000-10500
Bitrate: 3000
Wowza
content/live/10010.stream:
udp://0.0.0.0:10010
conf/live/Application.xml:
live
${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/content/live
cupertinostreamingpacketizer
cupertinostreaming
STB
Amino a140
So far we have tested the streams on an Amino, iPad and ffplay. All will have a hickup, but only the Amino will jump ahead and freeze for 10-15 seconds. We have also sent a stream straight from the encoder to the Amino and we have no problems at all. Of course, that is using RTSP and not HLS. There are no errors in the wowza error logs and we have tried disabling data events as per this article;

We have also tried adjusting the chunk settings as recommended here;

Thanks in advance and any help will be greatly appreciated!
