It could repeat if the client that was rejected tries again and again. Otherwise, no, Wowza will not try again.

Eric,

If it is not the user, then it must be the device.

There is also that iOS device will create two sessions (one empty) when a m3u8 url is opened in a iOS browser directly instead of opening a HTML5 page with video tag for the m3u8 URL. Is that what you are seeing?

dear Richard:

From logs, it could not be that user retry by himself, because it retry over 10 times during one second. Nobody can do this.

So your meanings is that does the client device(ipad or iphone) do this ?

I find the issue begin at wowza not fully execute.

If wowza fully execute, it is logs as below, it will appear play stream state.
