Live application loosing stream every 4 min

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

I have a wowza 4.2 server running on a CentOS box. At first glance it is working fine but about every 4:20 the video breaks up for about 13 seconds then recovers. Logs and behavior would indicate that wowza is dropping the stream totally and trying to reconnect less then a second later. I have run a number of tests and I will list the results below.

  1. CC in JWplayer behaves strangely and will skip back to earlier parts of the playback intermittently when this error happens.

  2. No difference when connecting off multicast or uni-cast so not a routing issue.

  3. This error still happens when tested locally on the wowza box.

  4. Pings to the wowza box succeed even when error is occurring.

  5. If connecting to a rtsp stream you will need to authenticate every time this happens when viewing stream with VLC.

  6. with one stream open when the event happens the cpu load will drop from an avg of 17% to 3%. After the event it will jump back up to 17%.

  7. The source is clear as tested on the box running wowza with VLC and a separate box on the same network.

Any help I could get would be great.

Hello.

You will need to open a ticket to troubleshoot this issue.

If you are using any custom modules, please disable them and confirm the issue persists. If it does, please zip the following folders and send them, along with a link to this thread as a reference to support@wowza.com:

[install-dir]/conf

[install-dir]/logs

[install-dir]/transcoder

[install-dir]/manager/logs

Regards,

Salvadore

Thanks for the update and the solution. Glad you got this working.

The issue for me was that we had firewalld running. firewalld blocks igmp traffic by default and will keep the multicast renew requests from getting through. You won’t see this issue if VLC as VLC spams group join instead of responding to igmp requests. For those of you who are running firewalld you must add this line to let the correct traffic through:

firewall-cmd --permanent --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter INPUT 0 -p igmp -j ACCEPT

I do not know if there is a way to do this from the GUI in centOS 7 but this line has worked for me.

I hope this helps some of you.
