Now, I convert Cam to HLS, Cam1 can play on VLC player, wowza player or other HLS player on browser.

But, Cam2 can not.

Thankyou.

Hello,

Wowza Engine can ingest a h.264 High 5.0 stream, transcode it and playback works in Wowza Player.

I tested this scenario using OBS as the encoder and the transcoded stream played without issue.

I was using the default transrate template and only the 360p preset.

Ok, I re-install wowza, and all configuration is default.

I got this log.

Video decoder pending frame count[192] is greater than limit[150]

How can I fix? It can’t play either.

Thankyou.

Can you test with a different encoder source? Try using OBS and see if you run in to the same issue.

Hello, I found my problem.

My cam2 audio samplerate is 16000, then I use WIRECAST to convert samplerate to 44100, and all is okay.

Another question, did wowza support low samplerate?(likes 16000)

Thank you.
