Hi!

I have some live on WebRTC with many reconnects.

I need to try several times to get a successful connection.

In my log I found the following: WebRTCCommands.sendOffer: STATUS\_STREAMNAME\_INUSE: MyStream

What could be causing the problem? When there is a live with the same name Wowza can not replace?

Tnks!

So there may be two issues here.

First, the multiple attempts to connect seems like a negotiation problem. I would look at chrome internals and see if you can find any leads.

Second, it seems like at some point you are trying to publish a stream and then it says you have one live. This is likely an issue with properly closing out prior sessions. I would check out the latest release of Wowza (4.8.2 or higher) as there were improvements to session handling.
