[Red5devs] Root cause of CPU overload on VOD streaming (was Re: Red5 0.7 Sprint)

Mon Jan 28 08:02:16 PST 2008

There no "fix" yet, but I think you may be able to set *generateMetadata *to
*false *in the interim. In red5-common.xml look for this bean:
<bean id="flvFileService" class="org.red5.io.flv.impl.FLVService">
    <property name="generateMetadata" value="true"/>
</bean>
Simply setting it to false may prevent your CPU spikes.
