Question

flvplayback stops playing but the client is still listed as a connection in FMS 3.5

Hi,

I have a live streaming application using RTMP. Sometimes the playback works fine but sometimes it stops without any trace or errors in the log file, while still appearing as a connected client. Has anyone encountered such or similar behavior?

Thanks!

    I would require more details from you in order to help you on this.

    When you say no trace or error in logs - which logs are you referring?

    Are you using default "live" application which comes with FMS or you own custom application?

    still appearing as a connected client -> Ideally if connection is not closed this will be case if AutoCloseIdleClients is false. So first thing can you check in access.00.logs that no connection close is logged ? If its not logged means FMS still feels client is alive.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply! Yes, so the application is the default live application. I looked at the log and there is not trace of a disconnect nor there are any errors of invalid network messages anywhere. The logging interval is set to be 120 sec. I'm also logging play-contuned event which has come up  in the log file even though the video had stopped playing. I played with idleTime setting of the flvplayback component and set it to 1000000 but it still stops after a few minutes... Please let me know if I can provide anymore details.

    Thank you!

    Have you tried with any other client application apart from FLVPlayback. Also can you just check if publishing is still going on when play stops.
