Question

Buffering of Live Stream

Hey guys, I noticed whenever my FME's connection to the FMS get laggy, the FME seems to buffer the stream. The streaming service hence becomes 'not live' as the users watch events that happened minutes ago. Is there any settings that I can apply to either the FMS or FME to prevent this? Currently, the only solution I could use is to stop the FME streaming and restart it, flushing out the buffered data.

    I have the same problem but from the client side. Everytime network condition gets crappy and jittery between Flash Player application and Flash Media Server "something" significantly increases buffering. By saying "something" I mean I am not sure what exactly causes it, either it's the client side or the server side. But the result is a severely delayed audio stream, could be more than a minute. I opened a ticket with Adobe, no solution has been provided yet

    I noticed exactly the same thing with FME... delays of several minutes at times. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to configure the buffer time. Word has it that the next release of FME will be far more robust, so maybe we'll get some sort of API to control those settings.
