Live Streaming with Stream Class

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello,

Im work with Wowza 4.0.1 and 4.0.4 on linux and VLC 2.1.2 on windows

It’s not problem When I playback VODs with VLC,

but I got a lot of vlc warning messages “ts warning: discontinuity received 0x? instead of 0x? (pid=???)”

when I playback Live streams was implemented like as :

https://www.wowza.com/docs/stream-class-example

Besides sometimes stuttering with error message “main error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (jitter of ??? ms ignored)”

and “main error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called”.

I was used WMS 3.6.x exactly same method and it never occured such stuttering problems. (tested again today)

My implementation is :

IVHost vhost = VHostSingleton.getInstance(VHost.VHOST_DEFAULT);

Stream stream1 = Stream.createInstance(vhost, “live”, “test_1”);

stream1.setRepeat(true);

stream1.play(“mp4:sample_shorten.mp4”, 0, -1, true);

You can play the video from 4.0.4

-> http://54.92.85.54/live/test_1/playlist.m3u8

from 3.6.4

-> http://54.92.48.87/live/test_1/playlist.m3u8

Please watch long time to see the problem

Thanks

Hi,

It appears that the server with Wowza 3.6.4 installed, is not started.

I can play the stream from the server running 4.0.4 but it is poor quality while the same stream using RTMP seems okay.

To troubleshoot this issue please open a ticket by sending an email to support@wowza.com

Include a detailed description of the issue, a link to this thread for reference and a zipped copy of the following directories for both servers (3.6.4 and 4.0.4):

[Wowza-Install]/conf/

[Wowza-Install]/logs/

[Wowza-Install]/transcoder/

It would also be useful if you could try testing sample.mp4 as the test content to see if this has the same issues and provide a copy of sample_shorten.mp4 for us to download.

Regards,

Jason

Hi, Jason

Sorry, I’ve started 3.6.4 instance now.

and unfortunately, same issues are occured for sample.mp4(big bug bunny).

VLC is stopped with a lot of errors while I am away from office 10 hours. (stream from 4.0.1)

I have sent configurations and the content that I tested.

Thanks.
