Hi,

I’m using Wowza Engine to re-stream some shoutcast streams for some live events.  
So, Shoutcast streams are not always on and Wowza Engine retry every second to connect to the shoutcast server.  
Is there a way to adjust the retry timeout to instruct Wowza Engine to try to connect to the shoutcast server every 10 or 15 seconds?

Thanks!  
Dave
