Audio skips back few seconds while video freezes

Hi,

We are running FMS 4.0 to stream on-demand MBR videos using the OSMF player. We have noticed that occasionally during playback the video freezes, while the audio skips back a few seconds and starts playing. Once the audio catches up, the video unfreezes and resumes normal playback.

Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to debug?

Thanks.

    Does it happen when it switches from one stream to another - if its that case then it might be either switching issue or the files used for MBR might not have been encoded properly to have exact same timelines.

    I looked at the logs and it does look like there was switching going on when this issue occured.

    Could you expand a bit more on what you mean by "switching issue" and "exact same timelines" ?

    Also, how could I go about verifying that the different bitrate streams have the same "timelines"?

    Thanks,
