live pkgr stream issues

It seems that I have to delete the folders created in \applictions\livepkgr\streams\_definst_ after most of the live events...  If not.. Clients will not see the stream..  I'm sending multi bitrate..  If I delete the two folders and have them re-created themselves I'm good..  If I stop the stream and start it again it's not required.. It almost seems like if after an evening of streaming and I don't delete these folders I'll have to delete them before doing the stream again...  Why is this?

    It seems that I have to add %i in this syntax to make it work?  Below is what I'm using... Adobe encoder didn't like your syntax.  It likes the below syntax.

    livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record

    Hi,

    It is because you must have selected more than one streams, as in the case of MBR. It then expects %i.

    If you want to publish just one stream, Im sure it will accept just 'livestream'.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    This is because the livepkgr works in 'append' mode by default. When you stop publishing and start after a while, there could be timestamp mismatch and server will fail to record streams from then on.

    So essentially you have two options:

         1. If you want to continue working in 'append' mode - Make sure that stream synchronization is switched on and that your publisher is sending Absolute Timestamps.

         2. Switch to 'record' mode - If you work in the record mode, every time you stop and start publishing, the old streams folder will be deleted and new streams will be recorded on the server.

    To publishing in record mode, use this stream name while publishing:  livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record

    Thanks,
