crashing when trying to open an RTMP stream several times

[ir-fuel]

test case: device in airplane mode.

code path:

• try opening the connection with startRtmpSessionWithURL: andStreamKey:
• get a VCSessionStateError followed by VCSessionStateEnded through the session delegate
• as soon as we get VCSessionStateEnded we schedule a selector to retry connecting the session, after 1 second, on the main thread

let the above run for a while and the app will crash out in some C++ code (not always at the same place).

I also tried before each reconnect to call endRtmpSession and create a new instance of the VCSimpleSession class, but the result was the same. Crashes somewhere in C++ land.

I am using code I got through cocoapods.

What is the server you are trying to connect to? (Wowza, nginx, red5?)

oh this is in airplane mode, ok I'll do some testing on this today.

[lucasleongit]

getting the same error, how do we fix this?

[bintu1234]

Hi I am also facing same issue can you please help me out I am using Wowza server and i am giving my RTMP like [_session startRtmpSessionWithURL:urlForStream andStreamKey:streamID]; urlForStream like rtmp;//some.tv/some/userid/userid and stream Id generated by my server but unable to start the session same as above can you please help me out

[ir-fuel]

My solution was straightforward: I used this codebase as a basis to write everything myself from scratch

[bintu1234]

thanks for the replay but if i give some other url it is working fine like mp4 formats is there any thing we need to pass to the server that video type is flv format and how to pass the h264 to server then it cover it into flv

Hey! Probably I fixed this issue #348
