Stream targets were created from Server A -\> Server B.
After setting the transcode,
When receiving A’s a.stream from the incoming B server, automatically transcoded a.stream / a.stream\_aac is created.
If a.stream of server A is cut off at a random time,
On server B
a.stream disappears. However, the transcoded a.stream\_aac does not disappear.
Therefore, when a.stream is restarted on server A, a.stream is activated on server B, but a.stream\_aac is still in a zombie state with stream inbound of 0bit.
To solve this problem, only restarting the Wowza engine is the answer.
Is there another way?
I wonder why a.stream\_aac doesn’t disappear.

This will require full access to your config files and logs in order to test.
