Freeze after playing first stream

[frederikbosch]

We have problems with playing multiple stream after another. The usecase is as follows: we play a live stream, then we start to stream a video and finally we return to the live stream again.

With the current setup: our player (JW Player) freezes after the first stream. This was not the case with our previous streaming service (crtmpserver). Because this project also offers HLS, we would love to continue with the docker solution.

What could be the issue?

Our live stream is as follows:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1472x1024 -r 25 -i :0.0+220,0 -f alsa -ac 2 -ab 128k -ar 44100 -i pulse -f flv rtmp://host/pub_12345k/stream

Our video stream is as follows:

ffmpeg -re -i file.mp4 -c copy -f flv rtmp://hostpub_12345/stream

Should we change something to the Nginx template?

I also opened a issue at the rmtp module of Nginx, because I do not know what is causing the issue. Is it configuration or is it a bug?

Hey, witch version of ffmpeg you use? And please give some info about nginx version, and other plugins/modules you use withit.

Thank You!

@Dexus See below my ffmpeg config:

ffmpeg version 1.2.6-7:1.2.6-1~trusty1 Copyright (c) 2000-2014

Nginx is just the latest from the Dockerfile

nginx-1.7.7.tar.gz

Thanks for having at look at this!

Hey @frederikbosch and @Dexus,

I've updated this project's dependencies over on this project's experimental branch. You can pull these changes from the Docker Hub using the experimental tag. I have not tested this code yet — I'll be trying this out tomorrow and will promote to latest if things go well.

We use videojs-contrib-hls as the frontend player for the code on master without any issues.

Thanks @reid. I will check that out. But it's been a long time I have worked with rtmp and video streaming in general. Will let you know my feedback.
