I have setup as follows.

Input source: Dlink DCS-942L wifi camera DCS-942L with IP address 172.16.6.112 and RTSP URL = rtsp://admin:[pass]@172.16.6.112:554/play1.sdp

Wowza streaming engine is installed on a windows 2012 server with IP address 172.16.6.111.

I have added a stream file as follows: Application-\>Live-\>Stream files-\>Add Stream File -\>

Enter a name for the new Stream File = WiFiCam1

Stream URI \* = rtsp://admin:[pass]@172.16.6.112:554/play1.sdp

URL to access the stream in jwplayer are as follows:

var playerInstance = jwplayer(“myElement”);

playerInstance.setup({

playlist: [{

image: “Integrated.jpg”,

sources: [{

file: “rtmp://172.16.6.111:1935/live/WiFiCam1.stream”

},{

file: “rtsp://172.16.6.111:1935/live/WiFiCam1.stream”

},{

file: “[http://172.16.6.111:1935/live/WiFiCam1.stream/manifest.f4m](http://172.16.6.111:1935/live/WiFiCam1.stream/manifest.f4m)”

},{

file: “[http://172.16.6.111:1935/live/WiFiCam1.stream/manifest.mpd](http://172.16.6.111:1935/live/WiFiCam1.stream/manifest.mpd)”

},{

file: “[http://172.16.6.111:1935/live/WiFiCam1.stream/playlist.m3u8](http://172.16.6.111:1935/live/WiFiCam1.stream/playlist.m3u8)”

}]

}],

primary: “flash”

Problem: Initially the streaming play immediately without any delay.

But, with time the stream loading started delaying. The delay is observed 1.5 minute in 24 hours.

If I reset the stream, the delay is not observed, but with time delay is increased again.

kindly resolve the issue.

Hello!

Thanks for contacting Wowza Forums!

Here is a link that might be able to help. Can you go through this guide and make changes to see if this improves the performance of the stream delay over time?
