New Media Server Install; audio stream stops/starts constantly

We stream a weekly radio show and even just testing with no listeners and there is no server load, our stream stops and starts continuously. It seems like a buffering issue but we're not sure where to start looking. It happens from many different locations geographically.

I'll be happy to offer details if anyone has some advice.

We are streaming our first live show with this new stream setup from http://www.pulpmx.com/pulpmx-show at 9PM PST tonight. We are actually just running some music right now as we try to troubleshoot what is happening.

Thanks

    Hi,

    Could you tell me if you're using rtmp/http for streaming?

    Thanks,

    Well let me start by clarifying, we have a server setup with 2 cPanel accounts, one of which is a standard http site, the other has its own dedicated IP and domain which we use solely for our streaming server installation.

    We were using the http protocol earlier for streaming when we were having troubles; we have since switched it to rtmp and the issues went away. This is problematic though because we cant load the rtmp stream into iOS clients (including our App).

    So, we're pretty sure the issue was a conflict of sharing the same hardware for a true http website delivery and also an http streaming delivery. Would you agree and is there a way to make this all work together in harmony?

    Thanks.
