[Red5] Recurrent freezing and "scrambling" of live stream

[Camille Lochet]

Yes they are on a local network (100mbps) and the bitrate is 320kbps.
Also I would think that if this was a bandwidth issue then it would
happen as well on our production server that runs Red5 revision 3663,
but it actually works fine. It only happens with the newer versions (I
tried RC2, as well as latest trunk as of yesterday).
