FMLE 3.2 to FMS 4.5 - Over time the stream delay increases

Hi,

When I run a live stream form FMLE 3.2 to FMS 4.5 lately, the stream after about 20 minutes or so, goes from a delay of about .5 second to about 20 seconds.

This never happened until the past few weeks and nothing on the network has changed.

The network is a gigabyte Lan and I am only using a 350kb stream without audio.

for the first 5 or 10 minutes it looks fine with just a slight delay but then over a 10 to 15 minute period the delay can go to about 20 seconds.

As the delay needs to be minimal it is causing some issues.

Any reason why this might be happening?

The Settings are:

VP6

30 fps

320 x 240 In and Out

Any advise would be appreciated

    This should not happen ideally.

    Which protocol are you using, ie RTMP or some other?

    Hi,

    I use RTMP

    HTTP streaming is not allowed on or Network as port 80 is used for other activities.

    I may have an update on the situation but I am still testing.

    The Videoplayer that I was using with the issue was the new StrobePlayer with FMS 4.5 and the issue was happening with that player.

    I swopped it out for the older videoPlayer from FMS 3 and the streams were stable and did not have the delay over time issue.

    I also created a video player in Flash CS5 using actionscript with the NetConnection code and again, the stream was very stable.

    I then created another video using the FLVplayback component and this also was stable over a 24 hour period.

    So my theory so far is that the issue is with using the Strobe Player?

    I'm not sure if this is a help?
