I tried to reset a stream, but it returns error:
ApplicationInstance.resetMediaCasterStream[live/_definst_]: Stream not found: flv:test.stream
the url of this stream is:
[http://localhost:1935/live/test.stream/playlist.m3u8](http://localhost:1935/live/test.stream/playlist.m3u8)

Be sure you are running Wowza version 2.1.2. The latest patch is here:

This is a different problem then what you initially described. What encoder are you using. What are all the settings. Be sure the key frame interval it set to a multiple of 10 seconds. A value such as 2, 2.5 or 5 seconds.

I guess play around with different encoders and encoder settings to see if you can narrow down the problem.

Not really. I am just suggesting you try encoders such as Flash Media Live Encoder (read EULA) or Telestream Wirecast. Be sure you are setting the endoder to use H.264 Baseline level 3 encodes with a small frame size (320x240) and low bitrate (250Kbps or lower). Get that working first.

It should be the latest build:
Wowza Media Server 2 Subscription 2.1.2 build24878
Maximum connections: Unlimited
Java Version: 1.6.0\_21
Besides, I play the stream in iPhone, it stopped suddenly, sometimes couple minutes and the longest duration is 50 minutes, it can play when re-connect.

The interval was set to 1 sec.

thanks the suggestion, Charlie. As I’m new to video stuff, I’ve no idea in troubleshooting. Is there any parameter I can see that the stream has problem?
