I need to programmatically stop VOD access to a certain file so it can be deleted or renamed. I find the active streams using AppInstance.getStreams, find the ones I want to kill, and call stream.getClient().setShutdownClient(true). 90 seconds later Wowza finally shows the stream was stopped and destroyed, and I have access to the file – how can I stop/destroy the stream immediately?
