Can the allowed interrupt period be stretched?

[marcel]

Hi,

I'm working on the livestream ingest and I wonder if it is possible to stretch the period of allowed source interrupt in the seeder tool (createlivestream.py).
The problem I have is that an interrupt in my source e.g. an error of 5 secs in my encoded file causes a shutdown of the seeder.
Thanks for any suggestions,

cheers

Hi,

does it behave in the same way for all kind of sources?
eg. HTTP streams, files, camera source ecc.

sorry, my mistake. my statement about the file was not really clear.

I meant that a file was streamed with HTTP via VLC. and it seems that an interrupt in these file causes an interrupt in the stream for the seeder.
Unfortunately I only get a picture with this type of ingest. the file based and the live capture does not work fine yet.

this seams logical to me.. What we could try is introducing a small delay allowing small delays in the source.

Thanks for letting us know
I'll have to discuss it with the other members of the team about a solution

I wonder why my file for the live streaming directly does not work. it seeds and the client is loading but there is no video.
if I create a HTTP livestream with this file via VLC without transcoding anything it works fine. why??
is the livestream only made for http streaming input or should it work? with which version worked it properly?
