Hi Wowza forum.

I very much need your help.

English is not my first language. Sorry for wrong words.

My problem:

I am experiencing choppy audio playback of our 192/44.1 AAC stream on an HTC One X using the TuneIn app.

The audio only stream comes from a Flash Live Media Encoder - with the main concept encoder - and goes out via the Wowza server at Qbrick/Arkena.

Their Wowza server outputs 4 streams: 1 flash rtmp stream, 2 streams for iOS devices iPad/iPhone using [http://hls](http://hls)… and finally my troubled rtsp stream.

The flash and hls streams works perfectly…

Rtsp, sadly not so much.

Here is what I am doing:

TuneIn points to this file for our Android users:

[http://www.tk.no/static/local/webcam/android.pls](http://www.tk.no/static/local/webcam/android.pls)

Can anyone help me understand why this stream is not working correctly.

More than once a minute the stream skips a beat.

I recently learned that newer Android phones supported HLS. So, I added our HLS stream:

[http://www.tk.no/static/local/webcam/ios.pls](http://www.tk.no/static/local/webcam/ios.pls) to TuneIn as a custom URL. Sadly, I am getting the same skips in the audio - in that stream also.

Strange, since ios.pls plays perfectly on iOS devices.

Please advice. I am all out of ideas.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Atle - Radio Kristiansund

Hi there, please see the following articles to help set up an application for RTSP streaming:

[How to set up an application for RTSP/RTP streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-an-application-for-rtsp-rtp-streaming)

This guide will help troubleshoot RTSP playback:

[How to troubleshoot RTSP/RTP playback](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-troubleshoot-rtsp-rtp-playback)

Wowza has the option to packetize audio in to .ts (transport stream) chunks instead of .aac (or .mp3), this may improve your success rate with Android clients.

Thank you, Salvadore.

I will investigate further.

Right now I have changed both pls files and inserted mms streams while I figure out what do to.

I will let you know when I find a solution.

Best regards,

Atle
