Hi, There could be some of the stream still in the buffer which VLC will play out. Are you saying that the stream keeps playing continuously even when Incoming Streams is showing no active streams? Is it with any specific output format (RTMP,HLS etc)? Paul ---

Hi, Please can you be more specific, how long does VLC player continue to play for after stopping the live stream when using the RTMP protocol. Can you confirm that you have a StreamType “live” and you have restarted (application or server depending on version) since making any changes to the Application.xml. What version of Wowza are you using? Regards, Jason ---

Yes, I’ve stopped sending live data, but I could see recorded data on VLC Player which keeps on playing. I used RTMP format. Thank you Jae ---
