Very slow to start rtmp with smil - jwplayer

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi,

it’s a serious issue for me. Pls help!

Wowza 4.2, a fast linux server, fast internet, and jwplayer 7.0.3 (but also with jwplayer 6)

With direct rtmp the start of video is immediate:

With smil file is terrible: almost 40 seconds to start!

And the mp4 called file is the same in both test !

Smil file is here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

What’s wrong??? I tried adding bufferlength but it seems this is not important.

The result (also with 0.1) is the same. A lot of time before video starts.

When the video starts it seems good. Rewind and Forward are fast, as you can see.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

I suggest, as a test, trying the abr test files provided here first.

Using the smil file and mp4 files from that guide, plus the jwplayer.smil, the playback should start quickly from a default vod application.

Is the same issue present with those files?
