Specify reconnection settings

If the network connection is lost during an encoding session, by default Flash Media Live Encoder attempts to reconnect to the server every 5 seconds until the connection is restored. When the network connection is restored, Flash Media Live Encoder resumes encoding. You can adjust the number of reconnection attempts and the interval between attempts in an XML profile.

Open the XML profile that you want to change in an XML or text editor, and add the following lines:

<reconnectinterval> 
<attempts>num_attempts</attempts> 
<interval>interval</interval> 
</reconnectinterval>

Here num_attempts is the number of times that Flash Media Live Encoder should attempt to reconnect and interval is the number of seconds that Flash Media Live Encoder should wait between reconnection attempts. You can use integers or decimal values in either parameter, but in num_attempts, decimal values are truncated. For both parameters, zero and negative values mean that Flash Media Live Encoder will not attempt to reconnect. In this case, the log file includes a message indicating that Flash Media Live Encoder did not attempt reconnection.
