|

|
49078 |
Calling receiveAudio(true) or receiveVideo(true) immediately after play will occasionally cause a few audio or video frames to be dropped. This is noticeable when playing back very short FLV files. |
|
58110 |
User arguments of type string registered with setInterval is corrupted when the interval fires after a GC.
String object registered with setInterval was not protected from GC as a result sometimes if GC was invoked between timer intervals, invalid object would be passed to setInterval calback.

FCS process uses lots of memory if large number of FLV files are streamed.
FLV cache purging has been reworked to purge all cached segment not in use if memory load is higher than value specified by <FLVCacheSize> configuration key in Server.xml. In addition cache is purged of all unused segments when server is idle even if the load is below the configured value.
|
|

This incompatibility was exhibited in the failure of setInterval not firing timer events.

|
