Hey,
I am currently facing an issue between Wowza nDVR and Roku where a timeout occurs on Wowza when Roku is viewing a dvr portion of a currently live stream. It seams as though Roku buffers to a certain point and then stops or discontinues something that makes wowza think that a timeout with the roku has occured. At this point wowza then just closes the session and the roku plays the rest of what it has buffered. I've tested the wowza ndvr with my iphone and there are no issues with this. So I am narrowing it down to the roku side. Is there anywhere to see this communication between the roku and the server? All I can get so far is current segment data, but i'd like to see what and how much the Roku is buffering. There are sweat spots during the stream where roku will get into a good spot where the stream will never timeout but I cannot find this pattern.
Also Roku seems to loose the stream when I seek all the way to live. (it will play for about 5 seconds and then drop to the Loading Screen forever). This also does not occur on the iPhone. Is there anything on this?
I've look through everything under SDK and Forums today and still can't find anything.
Thanks,
