Video Stoped after few seconds ( Nanocosmos , Wowza , FlowPlayer )

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi,

I am streaming live video from nanocosmos h.264 encoder to RTMP to wowza and playing using FlowPlayer, but video stopped after few seconds, it seems player is buffering but video never started again. If I increase “bufferLength” in Flowplayer then video also played longer but eventually stopped. I don’t know its wowza issue or flowplayer or nanocosmos. When flowplayer stopped the video, I am not getting any message in wowza.

Anyone who can help me to solve this problem?

Thanks.

This is probably easiest to debug initially with jConsole. https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-jconsole-with-wowza-media-server

Look at the IOPerformanceCounter for the appInstance for the MessagesInBytesRate (encoder) and MessagesOutBytesRate (player). You can double click the values to get a graph. You should be able to see if the encoder is still sending data through when the player stops.

Try it with a different player. Start with one of the example players that come with Wowza.

This is looking like it may be a problem with the encoder. Have you tried it on a different machine? It might be a good idea to try contacting their support.

Naumaan, Roger,

this might be bandwidth related. Contact us directly at info@nanocosmos.de with further info about your encoder configuration

  • we will take care of this in our support area.

Thanks for the reply, I will try that. Additional Comments : If I reset the player or try a new player in new page, the video starts again and after few seconds it stops. It means wowza is getting stream, and encoder is working. If encoder is not sending data then I need to restart my encoder but I didn’t reset my encoder.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks.

Ok I checked the Application attributes. When FlowPlayer went into buffering mode after playing few seconds of live video, I can still see bytes moving in and out. It means Flow player is not playing? whats the solution for this problem. I also tried with wowza (examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html) web application and found same problem.

Thanks.
