When using hls-live - request for m3u8 files takes too long

[Yuvali25]

Hi.

We setuped an HTTP live streaming application using Flash Media Server and the apache server that shipped with it. It used to work OK, but since recently -

the request time - for any m3u8 files of live streams - takes way too long (about 35 seconds) -

meaning, if I try to access directly - the url of a live stream (.../hls-live/[app name]/_definst_/[event name[/[stream name].m3u8)

in a browser -

I get a response with the m3u8 file - only after about 35 seconds(!)

Normally it used to be about 1-2 seconds.

I will appreciate any information about what can cause such a long delay? and what are the settings that are possibly related to this response time, in the configuration files of the apache server...?

Any tip for a direction will be appreciated...

P.S.

When I check the access logs of the apache - I see the request get HTTP code 200 (so it's ok in that sense. it just takes a really long time, as said)....

Thanks,

Yuval.

Is m3u8 size same when you used to get request in 1-2 seconds and now when you get it in 35 seconds. Are there any errors in Apache error logs? Is f4f recording happenign without any issues?
