The stream that Wowza Edge is trying to access on Wowza Live doesn’t exists anymore this is why it never succeeds to connect.

But why does Wowza Edge is resetting connection infinitely ? There is no client anymore that are asking streaming on Wowza Edge.

Is there something to do in java code to tell him to cancel this infinite reconnection or something to configure to set a maximum retry numbers before cancelling by himself ?

In advance, Thank you

Nicolas

Hi,

Can you please explain more about what happens to the stream when these errors occur?
