Flash Media Server 4.5 playing old stream

Hello,

We are live streaming to iphone/ipad and jwplayer for desktops. We have used adobe encoder and wirecast and with both products if we stop and then restart a stream, the iphone/ipad receives a short loop of the old stream instead of what is currently playing. The only way we can make it play the live video is to stop the encoding, then clear the stream files from the server, inside the stream package, and then start the stream again. Is there some setting that is causing this behavior?

Thanks

1. Can you please check the core logs, why recording is not growing.

2. Possibly you have't set your encoder to stream absolute timestamps. If you are using the FMLE, please set syncronisation = true in config.ini.. By default application, does an append (if you stop and restart again). For append to work correctly, either ATC should be properly configured or encoder needs to send the absolute timestamps.

3. In case append of recording is not a use case for you.. You can add option to record in "non-append" mode. Set publishing option as "livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record".

1. Can you verify once you restart the publishing - the recording is growing?

2. Are you changing any settings at encoder level at restart?

1. The stream files do not grow after the publishing is restarted.

2. I do not change any settings on the encoder. The problem occurs even if I just click stop, and then start again.
