Hello everyone! Stable release 2.3.1 of MistServer is now available! We have paid extra attention to our Windows builds and in this version, but fixes and improvements are included for all versions. Specifically live compatibility and stability have been improved greatly. Downloads are here.

Password bug fixed in control interface. New users can now use both password fields without any interruptions again.

Fixed track detection for live with more than 2 tracks. Open source versions of MistServer couldn’t handle inputs with metadata properly. They now assign the audio/video tracks correctly.

Fixed inputs for Windows builds. Some users of our Windows builds noticed problems with certain input files. All supported inputs should now work again

Changed the maximum simultaneous tracks (per connection) from 5 to 10. Every connection can now use up to 10 tracks at the same time. Which should improve support for applications such as Flash Media Live Encoder.

Pro: MistServer can now accept multiple RTMP pushes through a single connection. This allows Flash Media Live Encoder to push multi bitrate streams as well as enables a few MistServer Pro use cases.

Fixed some issues with HTTP Dynamic live streaming.

HTTP Dynamic Streaming once again works with live streams.

Optimizes to live buffers We’ve stabilized live buffers greatly. The rare occasions where tracks were deleted too soon or not at all should all function as intended again.

General code cleanup We’ve removed old (unused) code from the codebase, improving performance and making future maintenance even easier.

Connector shutdown and start code have been improved. Ports will no longer stay open longer than needed when switching ports for HTTP or RTMP protocols, and the switch now happens both faster and more reliably as well.

Pro: You can now set an override for the error messages when streams are unable to load.You can change the generic error message used with the embed code as a setting for the HTTP output now. We’ve added this function as a first test. We’re planning to update the feature to be more customizable at a later date.

Just some cosmetically issues, like that status of the stream is always Unavailable and you cannot see any how many connections.

Thank you!

Hello Eduard,

Ah yes, we're aware of those issues. We're working on a rewrite on how we're handling meta data so the management interface can be both faster and more accurate (the API gets the right information, but our management interface isn't interpreting it correctly). By the looks of it we'll most likely have it included in the next release, but depending on circumstances there might be a version in between. 

With kind regards,

Hi,
After running the build for 2 days with a constant stream, there are problems again.
On the player, its just saying "We are unable to connect to the content you've requested" but the VLC via RTMP works at this moment. 
Then Mist server stops reviving the ingest and it works after like 10 secs its restarted. 
What logs do you need?

Here is a log file from the encoder to the server.

Hello Eduard,

Ah, you've hit the 65,000 keyframe limit which we currently have in our main branch We're working on a way to solve this permanently, meanwhile there's a few ways to deal with this, I'll send you an email with the information.
