Hi!

We create chat application. Using Wowza 4.1.0 with Transcoder Addon (transrate template). H

ave a problem:

1. I start live stream with name stream\_name

2. Wowza create two transcoded streams with names stream\_name\_160p, stream\_name\_source.

3. I unpublish live stream with name stream\_name. Use netStream.publish(null) in actionscript.

4. Transcoded streams exist even after the source has been unpublished.

This code not work:

```auto
stream.close();
stream.stopPublishing();

```

When i use

```auto
stream.shutdown()

```

streams are destroyed, but they don’t create when i publish source stream again.

Thank you

Thanks, problem solved. In actionscript need close netConnection.
