WowzaStreamingEngine-4.1.2 upgrade issues

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

After upgrading to WowzaStreamingEngine-4.1.2 inside error log I can see the following error:

HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreamer.service : java.lang.NullPointerException|at com.wowza.wms.httpstreamer.cupertinostreaming.httpstreamer.HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreamer.onPlaylist(HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreamer.java:2189)|at com.wowza.wms.httpstreamer.cupertinostreaming.httpstreamer.HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreamer.serviceMsg(HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreamer.java:477)|at com.wowza.wms.httpstreamer.cupertinostreaming.httpstreamer.HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreamer.service(HTTPStreamerAdapterCupertinoStreamer.java:432)|at com.wowza.wms.server.ServerHandler.a(ServerHandler.java:636)|at com.wowza.wms.server.ServerHandler.a(ServerHandler.java:375)|

It didn’t appeared on previous version. I’m guessing it indicates that no stream is available when I request a HLS stream, but is there any way to disable this to be logged because when a channel drops input stream and more then 1000 clients try it and reconnect to it it fills the logs with unnecessary info, I don’t want to disable all logging only this behavior and because it is logged as ERROR is in the top level of the logging and it appears on all logs.

Hello there.

You can probably modify it in the logging log4j file by not showing that category. It would be useful if we could see the error in context as there may be a better way to handle the request.

Please open a ticket with support by sending a zipped copy of your /conf and /logs folders to support@wowza.com

They will have a look and be able to assist with the issue and or explain how to edit the log4j file to omit this error.

Kind regards,

Hi Salvadore,

I wouldn’t like to modify log4j because this log record is in ERROR level of logging if I disable this level I will not be able to have log for other errors. It will be good if you have some Property in the Application configuration to tell not to log records when you request stream that is no available.
