Hi there, I’m running Wowza 3.5.2 build3747 from Amazon EC2. I’ve constant DVR recording of my content

I’ve serveral servers with same settings

Every couple of days, when I try to play abstract of DVR content through delegate, I get “403 Forbidden” error when trying to get the .TS chunks

If I restart Wowza, everything starts working again … until some days down the road, same thing

Does anyone has an idea what could be happening?

Thanks in advance

Can you try using DVD without the delegate ?

Is delegate your own ? Can you add debug to it ? It sounds like it is failing , hence 403.

will try next time I see the error. Yes, delegate it’s my own. It strange that after restart of Wowza, it works

Content that before was giving 403, after restart, works fine
