Question

Can't republish to the same live event after deleting the existing stream files.

Say I got a live event called game in "C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\game" and push a MBR stream for awhile and see the ".stream" files being created, everything works good.

However whenever I stop the stream, delete the contents and try to republish another stream to this event name never recreates the '.stream' files or stream directories.

1. Delete the files "C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\game\Msadsaasa.stream","C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\game\Msadsaasa.stream".

2. Delete all the stream directories - "C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\game1", "C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\game2".

Is this normal behavior or is there a default waiting peroid before reusing an event name? Should I only publish to a liveevent name once?

Thanks,

Dave

    Hi Dave,

    There is nothing like a default waiting period. You can republish as soon as you stop. Can you check your core logs and let me know any warnings/errors reported ?

    It appears this is an Amazon-related problem that has been going on for a while:

    At this point, even with FMS 4.5, each stream name has a life of one successful stream.  After you broadcast using that stream name, you have to change.  Seems silly, but that's been my experience.  Hope Amazon can get their act together and resolve this quickly!
