The voice sounds like not completely when the publisher stop encode.

Any configuration in WOWZA could keep the stream active for more time?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting the Wowza Community

The broadcaster should stop when you stop the stream. Are you saying you stop the stream at the end and the live portion cuts off the end?

What protocol are you using for delivery?

regards,

Jermaine
