Hi,

When there is a problem with rtsp stream, wowza seems to retry so many times to connect to the stream and it wrote this in loop:

```auto
omment	server	WARN	200	-	RTPSessionDescriptionDataProviderBasic.getStreamInfo: RTSP/RTP re-streaming timeout.	-	-	-	233.406	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-

```

is it possible to configure the maximum number of retry ?

In advance, Thanks

I don’t think so. You can change the frequency by setting the MediaCaster/Property streamTime. Edit conf/[application]/Application.xml and add the following properties to the MediaCaster/Properties container (be sure to add it to the correct container there are several Properties containers):

```auto
<Property>
	<Name>streamTimeout</Name>
	<Value>8000</Value>
	<Type>Integer</Type>
</Property>

```

8000 milliseconds (8 seconds) is the default.

Richard
