Mediabrowser fails to replay or pause restart livestreams

[Former user]

See http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7138#p51658 Requests to replay or pause-restart live streams fail due to excessive delays in closing the prior piped input stream. Examples are provided of delays up to 19 minutes.

I've been able to reprodice this. I think I fixed the problem where it's trying to join already running FFmpeg job rather than start a new one. I still experience occasional inability to resume the streams, however. Not sure if it's related to Serviio, FFmpeg, stream or the FLV player. It sometimes works, sometimes the wheel is spinning and sometimes the player shows error 200 (stream unavailable). In all these cases Serviio can serve the stream when requested via wget, so it points me to the FLV player (Flow Player).

Please test this in the beta stage, but if it stays a problem of only live streams I don't think I'll spend much more time on this.

That's great news. I've added the test to my beta bucket list. I'm not much concerned with the restart after a pause, only the replay.

closing for now. Still happens sometimes but looks like FlowPlayer issue.
