Hey guys, I am running a live stream with wms2.0 on linux box. The encoder I am using is Quicktime broadcaster. The flash player I am using is latest Flowplayer and using the rtmp plugin for the stream. I have been noticing about .5 - 1sec audio sync delay. Also it tends to buffer a little to much for some users. I followed the first step on here: [http://community.wowza.com/t/-/57](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/57) and everything is set the same but I am still having the issue. Also the quality is not as good as I wish it to be. Would this be any issues with flow player side? Do I need to provide anything in the rtmp declarations ? ---

What is the bitrate set for? Have you tried setting it lower? Richard ---

What is the encoder and settings? Did you try step one of [this post](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/57)? If you are using FMLE with the MainConcept plugin, there is an unresolved issue at this time. Richard ---

Did anyone figure this out? We are having the same issue. Linux box running wowza 2.0 with about a 1 second lag in audio. We are using jw player to view the stream. Thanks. ---
