strobe media player stuck buffering until FMS is restarted.

We've been experiencing issues with live streams getting stuck buffering. I've verified all the stream files are being created correctly on the FMS 4.5.2 server.

I can see the streamsegxxx.f4f file size growing so I know data getting to the server. The issue only seems to happen when we first start the live streams, after completing the steps below it usually never seems to be a problem again for the remainer of the streaming event. Is the FMS server hung up or something?

The log files never seem to have any useful information to help identify the issue. Is there something specific I should look for in the log files and which log file should I be looking at?

The only solution we've found that seems to resolve the issue is to:

1. Stop the encoders and live stream.

2. Stop the FMS/Apache services.

3. Delete the stream files.

4. Restart the FMS/Apache services.

5. Restart encoders and start pushing the live stream again.

Thanks,

Dave
