I was wandering if there is a way to increase the sessiontimeout?

my stream stops every couple of hours and i believe that is the reason.

in the logs i get :

“Close RTSP/RTP session. Session timeout: 90000”

thanks

asaf,

It can be set in /conf/[app-name]/Application.xml /RTP /RTSPSessionTimeout. The value is milliseconds. Set to 0 to never timeout.

For problematic MediaCaster streams, take a look at ModuleMediaCasterStreamMonitorAdvanced:
