I realized I posted this on a version 1.7 thread, so I’m moving it here…
I am having the same problem as described here:
http://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6697
For live streams (relayed or pulled from Darwin/QuickTime Streaming Server RTSP), the video slows down when a browser menu is opened, sometimes when fullscreen is toggled, etc., but the audio track keeps going. Tried both the LiveVideoStreaming player and JWPlayer. Here is a sample stream (hopefully it stays up, got it on a loop):
Server: [dead link]
Stream: test
Original RTSP source: [dead link]
For on-demand streaming MP4 files, similar slowdown can be observed, although it seems like the video and audio begin out of sync too. Sample:
Server: [dead link]
Stream: mp4:test.mp4
Original MP4 source: [dead link]
The originals play perfectly. They are H.264 video and AAC audio, encoded using QuickTime Broadcaster. I am using the current development build of Wowza 2.0 (patch9) running as a service, server tuned, and the client is using the latest version of the Flash player. I’ve tried most things in my Application.xml file (AVSyncMethod, SortBuffer, RTP jitter buffer) without any success. I do get occasional packet loss errors with the RTP jitter buffer, but this seems very different than that.
I really don’t remember this issue when I first started using Wowza last year. I’d be curious to know what build version solved ChloeD’s problem as discussed in the thread linked above…
