Hi,

I have a live application on my wowza server, which re-streams rtmp feed from CDN. The feed is audio only, AAC, 128 kbps, 44.1 KHz.

The problem is, that while the http live stream sounds ok (other than little hiccups every 10 seconds or so), the rtsp stream from the same app is getting stuck every few seconds, and impossible to listen to. I mean to use the rtsp feed for android, as http doesn’t work in native android player

These are the streams:

[http://liveedge.it.best-tv.com:1935/besttv18-test/stream\_idc02\_audio/playlist.m3u8](http://liveedge.it.best-tv.com:1935/besttv18-test/stream_idc02_audio/playlist.m3u8)

rtsp://liveedge.it.best-tv.com:1935/besttv18-test/stream\_idc02\_audio

Does anyone has an idea what could be the issue?

Thanks,

Alex

Are you seeing any errors in the logs?

You can have a look at this guide:

[How to troubleshoot live streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/troubleshoot-live-streaming)

And you can use this module to monitor and restart unhealthy streams:

You could post your log output here and we can take a look.

Start Wowza in stand-alone (/bin/ startup.bat) mode, and post what do you see in the console.

**Edit: You will need to reproduce the problem, then post the log output for troubleshooting**
