Question

FMS 4 and FMS 3.5 drops live stream after some time, when publishing from FFMPEG

Hi,

I'm having a reliability problem with publishing live, h.264 streams from FFMPEG (using the rtmp publish ability now built into FFMPEG, where I can set an rtmp address as the output).

After a random period of time (usually between an hour and several hours), the default "live" application in FMS 4 (or 3.5) eventually drops the connection from the FFMPEG encoder. This is what appears in the log for the application:

"Dropping application (live/_definst_) message. Clients not allowed to broadcast message."

After googling the error, I discovered that people have been reporting this error for several years, but there has not been a single response from any FMS experts or Adobe about what causes the error.

Any thoughts on what is causing this error? If you need any more information about how to replicate the error, I'd be more than happy to comply.

Thanks!

    When your publishing is stopped, what logs do you see at server end, can you check core/edge logs.

    It seems a problem in FFMPEG implementation.. Baiscally they have put a wrong stream id in the rtmp message which shows its a broadcast message.

    Anyways I will get back on this thread..
