Reading the user guide section on MediaCaster:
This system works on demand—when the first request is received from a player for a given stream, a connection is made to the source stream and the stream is then made available to the player. When the last player stops watching the stream, the MediaCaster system waits for a timeout period. If no other players request the stream, the stream is stopped and isn’t available for streaming until another request is made.
Is it possible to configure this timeout period? From my testing, it seems to stop streaming from the source after only a few seconds. I would like to extend it to a larger timeout interval.
