So basically we have a wowza live stream with transcoding and nDVR module activated. On live stream it is ok, but if you want to go back for example 30 sec, 1 min…etc, the stream stops and if you click any buttons like play, live, etc the player does now work anymore. So you have to refresh the page. We have done the same benchmark with the JWPlayer and do not have this issue.

Hi @Florin Stana, I’d start by studying the logs; are there any warning or error messages around the time you try to rewind the stream? And, stupid question, but did you append the ?DVR query parameter when loading the stream in the player?
