Recently with revisions in the last month or so I've been having a condition where the server will stream an initial buffer to the client and then will stop and sit as if buffering. This will happen on all VOD clips at the same time and it will always play the same few seconds of video if you restart the stream. Restarting the server will fix the issues and it will come back after several hours. I only see it under fairly high loads (not maxed though) as the server will usually crash from OutOfMemory errors under less loads if it has been running for very long. Unfortunately, the logs look normal with no exceptions. In fact, the logs just seem to indicate all is normal and people just are watching a few seconds of everything. The version of Red5 I am running is r1898.

Bug
Open
Major
Buffer lockup for VOD clients.
The issue is pretty much the same in that when pulling VOD content from the server, the first few frames of the video are sent and the player will sit as if buffering while no more data is sent from the server. This happens to every connection as I can see in my access logs tons of hits for a few seconds with very low data transfer (average around 22k). Restarting the server corrects the issue. With the randomness of it's occurrences and with having it disappear for some time now it makes me think there is perhaps a customer file that is causing the issue. There are hundreds of files or I'd try to narrow it down, and being that there are no indications whatsoever in the log I'm not sure what to look for anyways. I have upgraded to the latest svn version as of 2007-07-16 and the issue still occurs. I've monitored the memory usage closely as well and it doesn't seem to be an issue, but I'd probably expect to see some actual errors in that case.
I really wish I had some more information to throw out there on this. Do you have any ideas what I might try? Could there be some kind of resource management going awry that I could try to comment out in the server?
Thanks as always for your assistance!
