Have anyone had any problems where the longer you stream, the longer the delay would be.

It started with 3s delay, and after 10 mins, it’s about 15s… and this goes on.

Any reason what’s going on?

I noticed whenever there’s jitter, the delay occurs.

Is the latency to streamer crucial? It’s about 240ms to the streamer, but 0 packet loss.

There can different causes for this, mostly network related either on the encoder side or playback. You might find some useful tips in this [Live Stream Trouble-shooting guide](https://www.wowza.com/docs/troubleshoot-live-streaming).
