[Live-devel] Bug: Server locks up on bad connection

[Ross Finlayson]

Andrei,

Thanks for the note.  This change will be included in the next release of the software.

You should understand, however, how you got into this situation:  Your client is receiving the stream via TCP (instead of via RTP/UDP), but the stream’s bit rate is exceeding the capacity of the network (between the server and client).  You really should not be streaming via TCP in this situation.  If the stream’s bit rate exceeds the capacity of the network, then you *will* lose data - and streaming via TCP is worse than streaming via RTP/UDP.

Because your clients are connecting via connections that are too slow, you might want to consider disabling streaming over TCP on your server, by calling "disableStreamingRTPOverTCP()” on it.
