Hi there … I’ve my wowza set to reject duplicated stream. Lately, due to some network issues, my encoders have had some glitches where the RTMP stream to Wowza gets drop for a second and encoder re-establishes, but Wowza sees it as a duplicated stream and rejects it. I guess this happens as wowza didn’t receive an unpublish and still consider the first stream could re-connect.

Is there any timeout value for Wowza to drop the first connection faster?
