Scheduling automated maintenance restarts



Flash Media Live Encoder is certified to run continuously for 7 days. If you plan to run it for longer than 7 days, it’s a good idea to schedule an automated maintenance restart at regular intervals. Once Flash Media Live Encoder has run continuously for the amount of time you specify, it automatically stops, restarts, and continues encoding to the same session.

Schedule an automated maintenance restart from the XML profile

 Open the XML profile in an XML or text editor, and add the following lines:
<restartinterval> 
<days>dd</days> 
<hours>hh</hours> 
<minutes>mm</minutes> 
</restartinterval>

Schedule an automated maintenance restart from the command line

 From a command prompt in your Flash Media Live Encoder installation directory, start Flash Media Live Encoder using the /t option in the following format:
FMLEcmd /t dd:hh:mm

For example, with the following command, Flash Media Live Encoder restarts after 4 days, 10 hours, and 30 minutes:

FMLEcmd /p c:\Profiles\my_profile.xml /ap myid:mypassword /t 04:10:30

If the restart interval is specified in the XML profile as well as on the command line, the command-line setting overrides the XML profile setting.
