Clearing application buffer after a live stream ends

[Guest]

Hi there, I'm sure this has been asked and answered a million times, but searching for "application" "buffer" "cache" "live" and "hls" isn't giving me any answers, so let's get to it...

After I end a live stream (which I do using FMLE 3.2 and FMS 4.5) and I then start a new live stream with the same application name, the HLS stream just loops the last 30 seconds of the old stream. To prevent this, after I end a stream, I have to go to applications\livepkg\streams\_definst_\ and delete the buffered data there. Only then can I start a new stream with the same name as the old stream. Now... that can't be normal, can it? Is there a switch somewhere I can set to tell FMS to cut it out and stop buffering old streams?

Thanks,

Raul

You can use "record" mode rather than default mode of "append". You just need to publish using streamname - livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record.

Though "append" should also work - can you let me know what do you see in FMS core logs / application logs. Also are you changing encoding settings when you republish/restart?
