Question

I have a red 5 server up and running successfully using regular rtmpt.
I have also made the necessary changes as per this link

Watching the logs of a typical working connection to red5 via RTMP. I see the following.

When I switch to RTMPT I don’t seem to see the Provider connect, Stream Start messages – and of course my stream never starts.

I also notice this in my logs

Any ideas

Answer 1

Change the value of rtmpt.max_inactivity in the red5.properties file. Also change the value of maxHandshakeTimeout in the rtmpt section of red5-core.xml file and retry.
