Serverside recording suddenly stops

Question

I've implemented a serverside script that records the current stream to disk. This record method is called from another clientside flash application.
On some occasions the recording suddenly stops after a few hours without giving any errors, and without there being any network dropouts (Flash Media Encoder doesn't report any dropouts).
What can be the cause of this, and what can I do to make the recording more stable?
My main.asc file is attached
Any other suggestions on how the code in this can be improved, or better practices on how to do stuff, is also appreciated

GTHvidsten, this is a pretty old thread, but just in case you are still stuck with the problem, the solution offered by ctdavids here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/865510 worked for me!
The problem was that the recording stream was being assigned to a variable inside the function (that starts the recording) is enough to start the recording. But, within a few minutes, the variable would get garbage collected. This would make the recording to abruptly stop with no status notifications or error messages.
To fix the issue, just put the variable inside of a global object, say,
var recordingStreamReference = Stream.get("recording");
strMaps[recordingStreamName] = recordingStreamReference;
where strMaps is the global variable (Object), recordingStreamName is just a unique name for the recording, and the recordingStreamReference is the variable that has the recording stream. Based on your main.asc file, I'm not sure how the application.clients[i].livestream was working, but no harm in trying an explicit global variable, right?
Hope this helps!
