Hi, everyone here. I understand that I try to switch files in the wating state on incoming streams to active every 10 seconds. I want to change this time to every 30 seconds, not every 10 seconds. I’m working on Java. Please let me know if anyone has any documents or ways to help. Thank you. ---

Hi, Thank you for reaching out in our forum. If you want to edit any timing for a MediaCaster source (a source pulled using a .stream file), then you can do so either within the MediaCaster/Properties container within the application used to start the stream or within the .stream file itself. If I’ve understood the request, you’ll want to add and edit a property called reconnectWaitTime [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-specify-per-stream-settings-in-stream-files](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-specify-per-stream-settings-in-stream-files) Regards, Jason Hilton Senior Technical Support Engineer **WOWZA** | _The **solution** you start with, the **partner** you scale with._
