Looks like there’s something odd with your stream.
Perhaps your a/v is unaligned.
Or your encoder is sending odd time codes. Maybe when its resetting.
To really get a picture of what is going on, we would need to see zipped up conf/ and log/ as well as info as to what the input into Wowza is and your encoding settings.
Also when/how frequently the behavior happens, etc. Does the errors in the log correspond to some external event such as an encoder reset?
Send that info to support@wowza.com and reference this thread please.
