How does one go about debugging unknown error messages?

My core.00.log file has these entries in them.

2012-02-2409:21:412212(e)2611178Error from libf4f.dll: Total number of messages waiting to be recorded has exceeded the limit.-

2012-02-2409:21:412212(e)2611423Failed to record stream2 (Unknown Error).

Thanks,

Dave

    Hey,

    Your encoder seems to be sending backward timestamp messages to FMS in append mode. This is a safety measure done by FMS due to which it stops the recording of a stream if there are a lot of messages coming to FMS with backward timestamps leading to its message queue cross a fixed threshold.

    Please check your encoder settings and make sure that you have Absolute timecode code or a similar setting in your encoder’s configuration to make sure that it sends messages with increasing timestamps.

    One other thing as well and I'm not sure if related to the backward timestamp issue.

    If I stream mbr say 200kbps(stream1) and 500kbps(stream2). In the 'streams/_definst_/stream1' folder only a 'control' file is present and the other files are missing. In the other 'Stream2' folder all the files are present 'bootstrap','control',meta,f4x,f4f files.

    Whats the deal here?

    Are you running your recording in append mode i.e. did you stop and restart the recording without deleting your streams directory ?

    Also, can you check your logs and see if there is any message about stream1 that contains just the control file ?
