Media Server Consuming Memory

Question

My project is forwarding an RTMP stream to an RTMFP (multicast stream) using a server action script. In forwarding this stream, the AMSCore process keeps consuming memory. This consumption of memory requires the system to be rebooted repeated. How can this be prevented?

Answer 1

I did not think I could use the sample multicast application with my
project's software. Instead,  I compared the outbound NetConnection and
NetStream code in the sample application with the outbound NetConnection
and NetStream code in my project's multicast server actionscript. One of
differences I discovered is that my project's application connected to the
rtmfp group with the following call:
nc_connect..connect("rtmfp:");
while the sample called:
nc.connect(resetUriProtocol(streamContext.client.uri, "rtmfp"));
Therefore, in my project's actionscript, I replaced connection to the
"rtmfp:" serverless group with a connection to the application uri:
net_connect.connect("rtmfp://127.0.0.1:" + port + "/" + application.name)
This change fixed the excessive memory consumption. So, why does the
connection to serverless network endpoint consume memory on Windows Server
2008 R2 to the point that all of the virtual memory is used or it crashes
the system?
