Hello, I have 2 cam.

The Cam1 h264 level is 4.1,

Cam1 log

- **LiveStreamPacketizerCupertino.handlePacket[live/_definst_/aiCam1.stream][avc1.77.41]: H.264 (Video may not be playable on older iPhone and iPod touch devices where Main/Level 3.1 or lower is required) Video info: {H264CodecConfigInfo: codec:H264, profile:Main, level:4.1, frameSize:1280x720, displaySize:1280x720, frameRate:14.99, PAR:1:1}**

And Cam2 h264 level is 5.0

Cam2 log

- **TranscoderWorkerVideoDecoder.handlePacketVideo[_defaultVHost_:live/_definst_/localCam.stream: decodeIterations:194]: Video decoder pending frame count[192] is greater than limit[150], resetting**

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

But, Cam2 can not.

wowza support h264 level 5? or my wowza config have problem?

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.
