Stream sometimes in "idle" for no reason. What should I do?

[al3x88]

Hi,
I noticed that while streaming something the HKStreamReadyState goes in ".idle", so I guess it stops the streaming.
Do you guys knows what cause the stream to go in idle state?

In my code I implemented a monitor every 15sec as follows:

guard let stream = await self.netStreamSwitcher.stream else {
                return
            }

            
            let status = await stream.readyState
            
            if status == .idle {
                self.resetRTMPConn()
            }

Where self.resetRTMPConn() is:

func resetRTMPConn(){
    Task{ 
                    
        await self.netStreamSwitcher.close()
        
        await self.netStreamSwitcher.open(.ingest)
       
    }
}

This trick saved me since at some point it starts to stream again, but other times takes too many attempts.
Do you guys have a better approach?
What are the root cause of HKStreamReadyState in idle state?

thanks a lot!!!

The publish state may transition to idle in the following cases:

1. When there is no response from the server within a certain period at the start of streaming.
2. When the server disconnects for some reason during streaming.

To reproduce this issue locally, logs with the trace level can be helpful:

LBLogger.with(kHaishinKitIdentifier).level = .trace

Handling can be implemented using the status property in RTMPConnection and RTMPStream:

@shogo4405 is it possibile to save those logs locally in the device?
Would be useful to get them from other devices in case of issues....

[al3x88]

@shogo4405 forcing connection reset like this:

`
await self.netStreamSwitcher.close()

await self.netStreamSwitcher.open(.ingest)
`

is something that makes sense?
Or the connection already attempts to re-establish the connection, in case of idle?

I'm stopped providing technical support. Please look it up on your own. Using the readyState approach is a bad idea, so you should avoid it.
