Question
RTMPT clients disconnect sporadically
I'm operating a text-based streaming newsfeed. I'm dealing
with a client behind a proxy server. The client is connecting on an
rtmpt connection on port 80. The initial connection works fine and
the client receives news. The connection stays open for a while --
typically for 2 - 5 minutes, but occassionally during off-hours up
to 45 minutes. Then the FMS server reports that the connection has
closed.
Obviously, something is going wrong with the connections through the proxy server. The fact that it works better off-hours makes me think it has something to do with the overall demand on the proxy server.
A few questions...
The client isn't explicitly closing the connection. So how exactly does the server decide that a client has disconnected?
Is there any way to configure the client or server to tolerate the proxy dropping the occassional message?
When talking to my clients proxy server admins, what could they adjust to help the problem?
