Yes you're right. I've moved to the backlog to schedule.

Thank you.

Hi,

can you try adding these settings to your app settings and try it again?

That file is located at: /webapps/App-Name/WEB-INF/red5-web.properties

settings.deleteHLSFilesOnEnded=false (it is written as true by default change it to false) settings.hlsflags=+append_list

Fyb3roptik commented 3 years ago

Did this and restarted the service, but it is still happening

Fyb3roptik commented 3 years ago

Any updates?

Hi @Fyb3roptik

Can you add these settings in your re5-web.properties file as Cem suggested and restart the server, then try again please. Location: /webapps//WEB-INF/red5-web.properties;

settings.hlsflags=delete_segments+append_list+omit_endlist settings.deleteHLSFilesOnEnded=false

The setting of omit_endlist will disable putting #EXT-X-ENDLIST at the end of your m3u8 file as referenced here: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#hls-2

Deleting the files at the end will break the flow so we are adding it. With these settings we had no problem on our tests.

Cheers.

This fixed it for me. Thanks!
