Handling user connection disconnect & reconnect in stream

Hi all,
I have a problem where I'm streaming a video via RMTP from akamai for a video serving site and an issue has come up during QA where a user starts a video stream and then disconnects their internet connection, which causes the video player to go into the buffer state.  The problem occurs when they reconnect their internet connection and we'd like to pick up the stream again.  Does anyone have any best practices/examples for how to handle this scenario?
Thanks,
Jason

I am guessing you are supporting a school?
Try these simple steps.
1:  Make sure that all systems has a sleep timer greater than the class period.  For example, the default 15 minutes can easily be consumed by a teacher's presentation.  Then the system is asleep and you need to rely on AFP reconnect, which doesn't always work.  You can push this out with ARD/JAMF with
systemsetup -setsleep 45
Or some other appropriate value.  This ensures that a systems is not sleeping during a student session.
2:  Try increasing the tickle time of AFP.  This can be done with:
serveradmin settings afp:tickleTime=60
The default is 30 and if you are doing a lot of wireless to the devices, this adjustment may improve your performance by reducing the chatter between the client and the server. 
Hope this helps

  • Detecting when users connect/disconnect

    I have a client application that communicates via EJB and also
    subscribes to JMS topics. I need the server to programatically
    detect when a client connects and to JMS and when they go away.
    We want to keep course grained stats on how long someone is connected.
    The WebLogic console shows when a user is connected and it their
    name goes away when they disconnect - I don't want
    to pay someone to stare at the console window with a stop watch
    and time connections.
    How can I programmatically detect when clients connects and
    disconnects?

    That may be a good idea but what are we supposed to do in the meantime.
    any work arounds etc??

  • Applications move between spaces when connecting/disconnecting second display

    During the day I'm constantly connecting/disconnecting/reconnecting my 2nd display to my Mac. When I do that a lot I see a few things happen:
    - Applications move to different spaces
    - One or two of my spaces dissappear
    Has anyone come across this issue before and is there any solutions or options I can try out.
    Many thanks!

    I just ran a hardware test (on ML you must hold down Option-D so it can access the hardware test bits via the 'net) and the test completed without finding any issues. I wonder if the issue has to do with switching between the integrated and discreet graphics.

  • Tracking VPN user connectivity

    Is there an easy way on the ASA to track user connectivity statistics? I have found that I can get a syslog record when a user connects / disconnects but am looking for an elegant way to track a bit more. On the old Concentrator there used to be a log entry when a user disconnected that gave things like time connected and the amount of data transferred. I would like to figure out a way to duplicate this on the ASA and maybe even add the IP addressed they received from the DHCP pool? I though this might be part of accounting but that appears to be more for radius integration than keeping track of user usage.
    Thoughts or suggestions on how to accomplish this?
    Brent

    Cisco Security Manager product collects and stores such information (along with a lot of other things). It's a pretty hefty product though and probably more than you want to spend for doing just that one thing.
    You can use a general purpose SNMP management tool like PRTG to grab all the data as well. I know it has out of the box sensors for Cisco ASA VPN connections and users. I'm not sure if it also collects the amount of data transferred.

  • WRT54GS v6Router - laptop connects, disconnects, re-connects, disconnects...

    I have Linksys router wired to a desktop and a laptop that connects wirelessly.  Recently, the WZC was stopped somehow and I turned it back on.  This didn't resolve the problem.  My laptop will show connected and then disconnected on the EasyLink Advisor Status screen.  This connect-disconnect-reconnect is continuous about every two to three minutes.  The wired desktop has no problems.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Donnie

    Dan, et al,
    Okay.  So I didnt resolve the issue.  What i learned is that if I close the internet connection, i.e., close email or and PC restart, I have no WZC.  From hte command line I start the WZC and then, in the properties of hte wireless connection I have to check "Use Windows to configure my networks" or something like that.
    Why do I now have to perform this each time the PC or internet connections are closed? 
    Also, when I try to view networks in area I get hte warning that WZC isn;t running and maybe a third party set up is running. 
    Any ideas what I have done to mess this up?  Thanks in advance for your(anyone's) help.

  • Itunes hangs on disconnect / reconnect of internet connection

    Quite often I do stream internet radio stations using Itunes. I am listening through my BeoCenter2. When I swich of the BeoCenter2, I often forget to
    stop the stream in Itunes. This would not a problem, but because my internet provider drops the connection every night for one second.
    This disconnect / reconnect is not handled by Itunes correctely. From this moment on Itunes is frozen and hangs. Itunes has to be killed.
    Any advice? Or is there a bug fix on the way?

    Hi,
    Thanks for that - good advice I'll file a report.
    I've just switched to streaming music this way after struggling for many years with a Logitech Duet.  When it worked  it was brilliant, but very flaky at times.  Naively I thought I would switch to something totally reliable and sorted.  To be fair the remote app works brilliantly on iphone and no problem with streaming my music collection - just that, like you, I stream radio feeds too.   I cannot believe others don't have the same problem too.  My internet connection drops out several times a day, which I'm pursuing as well.
    If/when I make progress I'll post it.

  • Another user of your computer is currently using this connection. This user must disconnect before you can log on.

    Hello
    I have a single computer that is going to be shared between 5 people. In an effort to save time. I wanted the users to have a single shared LOCAL login to the computer.
    Then each user could pull up an RDS session through RDWEB on our 2012 r2 RDS farm.
    However, when I attempt to log in more than one user through RDWEB I receive:
    Another user of your computer is currently using this connection. This user must disconnect before you can log on.
    I have done some research on this, and followed this advice, and did the following steps on all my RDS session host and broker servers
    Enable Multiple RDP Sessions
       -  Log into the server using Remote Desktop.
       - Open the start screen (press the Windows key) and type gpedit.msc and open it
       - Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections.
       - Set Restrict Remote Desktop Services user to a single Remote Desktop Services session to Disabled.
       - Double click Limit number of connections and set the RD Maximum Connections allowed to 999999.
    However, it did not solve the problem. Anyone have suggestions?

    Hi Michael,
    In addition you can try below registry setting for multiple remote session.
    HKEY_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
    fSingleSessionPerUser     REG_DWORD     0x00000000
    Note: By default the registry value is set to 1, but you need to change to 0.
    Also if you are making connection through gateway then recheck whether the setting is enabled on gateway side for multiple session.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Connections: Disconnected Database get automatically reconnected

    PC: XP SP2, Intel Pentium 4.

    Lets say i connect to 3 databases. Then I disconnect from 2. I use the remaining connection to edit a package. After closing the package I see that my recently disconnected connections are reconnected and SQL Worksheets have been opened.

    There are several reported situations where this happens.
    Apparently they couldn't fix it in time for patch 3, so we'll have to wait for the next drop...

  • How to handle multiple connection or user with l2cap

    hi friends,
    I need your help please a.s.a.p
    how to handle multiple connection with l2cap protocol in j2me
    sorry,
    I'm a new programmer in j2me
    thanks all...

    Please stick with the original thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5200413&tstart=0
    Cross-posting is very rude, and JSch has nothing to do with JSSE, directly. It is an SSH2 API. It does (AFAIK) use some parts of JSSE, but those parts are definately not your problem.
    You already have answers in the other thread.

  • Correct way to cleanup lccs state for Connect/Disconnect functionality

    I am trying to implement connect/disconnect functionality but I got some errors - when user connects to another room after disconnect different objects(for example AudioPublisher) may end up in incorrect state. Currently I perform following sequence of actions on disconnect: call stop method on  AudioPublisher, call close method on AudioPublisher, and then call close method on ConnectionSession. When I reconnect again AudioPublisher object in wrong states and throws different exceptions("Stream not found", "Stream already exists"). Can you recommend some approach to avoid these errors?
    Best Regards, Aleksey

    Hi Aleksey,
    Seems like using multiple connectsession (connecting to different rooms) is messing your app. We handle most of the clean up in the close & stop methods for AudioPublisher. If you are still facing issues can you share your code.
    Thanks

  • Bluetooth keeps connecting disconnecting

    I have Volvo V40 and when I step in my car with my bluetooth enabled already, I see on my Z3 Bluetooth connect sand then disconnect. This repeats all the time. When I then disable bluetooth, wait a while and enable bluetooth again, the problem is gone. I don't know for sure, but what I have see on my car's phone menu, although I get these disconnects on my phone , the disconnects are not noticed by my car. But again, I didn't look into that yet. Do you have similar problems?

    I have the same problem.   You must be new,  or in denial. I had a Z1s that had all these same problems,  disconnecting/maybe reconnecting,  won't stream music in the car,  troubleshoot to no end.  Then discovered the many many people online with the same problems.  Sony always tries to blame the car,  or the user. You also seem to frequently ask about the Wifi, because you know the wifi makes the problem worse.  Now,  I was foolish enough to assume that Sony actually listens to feedback and improves products.  I thought Sony would have fixed their bluetooth problems by two models later.   Boy was I dumb.   I have a new Z3, and the same old garbage,  connected,  disconnected,  connected,  disconnected.  Anyone who's considering this phone should just Google,  "Z3 bluetooth problems, " it's an eye opening experience.  Perhaps someone at Sony should too.  I tried to return the phone,  but it's been more than 14 days,  so all I can get is a "warranty return" which would just give me another of the same phones with the same defective software,  so what,  really,  can  I do?   Organize a class action suit?  SONY,  ARE YOU LISTENING? 

  • RDP Session Disconnect/Reconnect when RemoteApp is in Not Responding State (Server 2012)

    Some of our applications running in our RDS environment tend to enter the Not Responding state while they're waiting for something in the background to happen (open a window, perform a calculation, etc.). When this happens we notice that the RemoteApp session
    will quickly disconnect and then reconnect. This causes an issue with dialog boxes.  For example, printing to PDF.  A lot of time the dialog box for specifying where to save the PDF is in the background because RemoteApp disconnected and reconnected
    causing the program your printing from to become the window of focus. This makes user think the program is truly not responding when in reality the dialog box is hidden and waiting for them.  They then need to click the icon on the taskbar to access the
    dialog window.
    To my knowledge we never had this issue with Server 2008 R2.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    Is the server 2012 R2?
    Please confirm in the logs that a disconnect/reconnect is occurring.  On the client you would look at TerminalServices-ActiveXCore and on the server side you would look at TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager.
    When this happened you had a continuous ping to the server and it did not lose any pings?
    Having solid pings is a good sign, but you can still have a network problem that will cause the connection to drop.  You may want to update the NIC driver and firmware to the latest version recommended by your server manufacturer.
    Additionally you should consider any routers/switches/etc. that are between the clients and the server as potentially suspect.  For example, I have seen where a NAT router would drop a connection periodically, then the connection would be re-established
    and not have issues (until the next time).  One way to test would be to swap in a different make and model router/switch and see if the problem still exists.
    Thanks.

  • USB 3.0 port seems to be VERY loose / flimsy (everything keeps disconnecting / reconnecting)

    Just like the title says: my USB 3.0 port seems to be very touchy...even the slightest nudge of whatever's plugged in will cause it to play the device-disconnected chime (but then nearly immediately play the device-reconnected chime).
    Is this a known issue?
    And what do I do to fix?  I assume it's a HARDWARE rather than a software problem, because it's a physical nudge that seems to prompt the disconnect/reconnect...so is this something that i'll need to open my computer to fix? It's not under warranty anymore...

    Hi there @BarryKatz1 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you have an intermittent USB connection and that the connector seems loose. I am happy to help, and as you surmise, this is more of a hardware issue.
    I certainly feel your pain, I have a notebook that my young son pulled down (more than once) and each time I lost a USB port due to damage, and of the three I had on that notebook, only one still functions.
    The port is a part of the notebook's mainboard, so the main remedy is a board replacement.  You will find the part and part numbers in the service guide, on page 25 of 81.
    HP Spectre 13 Pro Ultrabook and HP Spectre 13 Ultrabook Maintenance and Service Guide
    About the only other thing you can try is a new USB cable for the device, just in case the problem is more cable related.
    I hope this helps.

  • EA6300 Random Disconnects/Reconnects

    I have a newish EA6300 router, and the connection will randomly but often (every 15min or so) drop for a second and then reconnect.  The firmware is 1.1.40.153731.  I have two laptops in the house and this issue happens on both computers.  I also have another wireless router (Zoom N150) and when I connect the computers to that router the connection is stable and never drops.   Any idea why I'm getting these random disconnect/reconnect issues with the EA6300? I would very much like to only use the Linksys router because of its superior power, range and ability to handle more devices and traffic, as well as eventual AC capability.  However I can't use it as a primary connections because of this issue.

    Thanks for the reply.  I had already changed the channel and it did seem to improve things.  I still get disconnects but they are MUCH less frequent.  My next step will be to move the Linksys router away from another wireless router that is nearby that may be causing interference. I have another question.  I have used inSSIDer to examine the signal strength of the wireless networks around my home.  This is what helped me to know what channel to switch the Linksys router to.  But I've noticed that inSSIDer shows two networks when the Linksys router is on.  I do not have a 5ghz wireless card in my computer, so only the 2.4ghz band shows as a network.  One of the networks is my network that I have named, but the other network is unnamed (no SSID), and this mystery network will occassionally get a big drop in signal strength.  I have attached a screen shot.  The blue line is my main (named) personal network, an the yellow line is the mystery network that turns on when the router is on.  You can see the downward spike in that yellow line that indicates a momentary loss of signal in that mystery network.   Any idea why two networks show up?  And if their coming from the same router, why would one lose signal while the other doesn't?  Again, I don't have an AC network card, so I'm not seeing a 5ghz band so the second one can't be that.
