It’s as if I’m not passing a stream name at all.

For brevity, here’s my application’s error log: [http://pastebin.com/LH2jBBHx](http://pastebin.com/LH2jBBHx)

Logs seem to corroborate the lack of a stream name, but my client is publishing with a stream name:

Any idea why this wouldn’t work? I’m really drawing a blank here.

Hello,

For a live RTMP stream URL, the ‘Stream Name’ field would typically just a name of the stream such as ‘myStream’ with no file type or extension or mp4: needed.

Best regards,

Andrew

Thanks, that seems to have resolved it. It used to be required to stream RTMP with the prefix and postfix, right?

As it turns out, it’s still not fixed. I still have the same log:

LiveReceiver.flushPacketizerDelayCommand[live/_definst_/]: Stream name is missing or too long, flushing delayed packet.

Stream name is still nonexistent and files aren’t saved properly.

Hello,

Based on your previous screenshot for your encoder, can you provide the stream name you are using?

Regards,
