For the source encoder I am using a DVEO GearBox, it is a Linux appliance with loads of flexibility but not much in the way of documentation. It takes source video and streams to wowza in a number of formats, I'm using RTMP since wowza is optimized for that.
I have a few output streams configured so getting back to the original settings was no problem. I have been able to change settings to get it to stutter at what appear to be segment boundaries and I can change the segments from 5 seconds to 2 or 2.5 segments and see the result in the stream, but it still isn't perfect.

The simplevideoplayer app plays the stream on the first try every time, but my app doesn't. Process of elimination should do the trick - I'm going to simplify my player code and try again.
