FMS 4.5 Edge Problem on H264 Recorded Streams

Hello, we have some strange problems.

We have 2 FMS 4.5 servers, one working as origin one as edge

we are running our custom DVR application on Origin server, wich records streams.

Clients are connecting to edge server and they can watch live or rewind back and watch recorded stream, the problem is after too many clients are connecting to edge server the rewind option becomes unstable, form our investigation we determined that rewind working bad only on that parts of file wich is not cached on edge server yet (caching is working fine when there are not too much clients).

We have currently upgraded from FLV Streams to H264, FLV was much stable and was able to handle much more connections...

can anyone suggest anything? we have already tried different edge servers ( i mean, different hardware and fresh installs) but the problem is same everywhere

if you need more details just ask and we will provide.

Thanks

We did more testing and i think we found solution for this problem, but now another one appears.

Solution for this problem was changing cache settings we set "NumBucketsAtRisk" to 0, so now it dont moves files from buckets, now it seems to work ok on seek,

but there is still problem after too many users are connected, stream becomes unstable for example: on the same amount of users same server (hardware) was working much much better when there was FLV streams...

BTW Thanks for response.
