2019-06-16 - 5:03 pm - Camera feed and playback problems seem to be occuring. Video is jumping every couple seconds and the audio is choppy. Problem continues until feed ends at EOD. Check logs to see what errors were occurring during this time and if there is anything that can be done to fix this issue.

Issue did not occur when the video stream was restarted the following morning.

Also, the following day, the camera's resolution and bit rate were unchanged from the desired settings, so this is not a recurrence of issue #25.

There were no issues visible in the log (attached). The entire day the log was clean.

There was a network outage at 9am-ish and the stream successfully bounced. There was also a successful midday stream bounce. The choppy video occurred long after both of those events.

CrowCam Issue 41 Log.txt

tfabris commented 5 years ago

Since there was nothing in the log to work with, my only hope is to catch this again when it's occurring (as opposed to after the fact) and look at the debug output of the LiveStreams output response. Closing bug for now, will re-open when I see the issue recur and can poke at it in realtime.
