Media files do not buffer/stream

[Ajmal_2608]

Hi,

There are multiple content in our websites which are Media files most are swf (flash), they do not stream like a normal media/video file, rather they get downloaded completely and then start playing.

People say that this was working when the site was loadbalanced by APACHE, and problem started after migration to LTM

Any suggestions?

Version 10.2

problem started after migration to LTMso,... what is the problem??

Earlier the video files used to start playing with some part downloaded (Live Streaming) and simultaneously remaining part was downloaded (Like a normal Youtube video)

Now - It starts playing only when the complete file is downloaded to browser

is it rtmp? what variation are you using? Real Time Messaging Protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Messaging_Protocol can you post the virtual server configuration?

I think it is using RTMPT as everything works on HTTP/HTTPS only Config (Modified to remove propitiatory data) ================================================ VIP ------ virtual test.net-https { snat automap destination 10.10.10.10:https ip protocol tcp rules test.net.iRule profiles { test.net-HttpProfile {} test.net-SSL { clientside } tcp-lan-optimized { serverside } tcp-wan-optimized { clientside } } } ============================================== HTTP Profile --------------- profile http ala.sabanow.net-HttpProfile { defaults from http-wan-optimized-compression-caching ramcache disable compress content type include { "text/" "application/(xml|x-javascript)" "application/javascript" } compress content type exclude none } ============================================== iRule -------- rule test.net.iRule { when RULE_INIT { set safe_http_methods [list "GET" "PUT" "DELETE" "POST" "HEAD"] } when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { set trafficLog "[IP::remote_addr] -> " } when HTTP_REQUEST { set trafficLog "[HTTP::method] [HTTP::uri]" Reject unsupported HTTP methods if { ![matchclass [HTTP::method] equals $::safe_http_methods] } { set trafficLog "$trafficLog REJECTED:badMethod" log local0. $trafficLog HTTP::respond 200 content "PROTOCOL ERRORAccess Denied: Unsupported HTTP METHOD.Please contact customer support for further details." noserver } Before we consider sticky sessions switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/outtage" - "/maintenance.html" { HTTP::respond 200 content "Maintenance HTML Here" noserver } "*.exe*" - "*.dll*" - "/index.html" - "/sso/" - "/sso/index.html" - "/jboss.css" - "/logo.gif" - "/manager*" - "/status*" - "/jmx-console*" - "/web-console*" - "/jbossws*" { Unauthorized Access Attempted set trafficLog "$trafficLog REJECTED:secureURI" log local0. $trafficLog HTTP::respond 200 content "PROTOCOL ERRORAccess Denied: Secure URI.Please contact customer support for further details." noserver } "/" - "" { Auto-redirect to main login page set trafficLog "$trafficLog 302 REDIRECT:mainLogin" log local0. $trafficLog HTTP::respond 302 noserver Location "https://[HTTP::host]/test/Web/Main" } } Enforce Sticky Sessio if { [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"] ne "" } { persist uie [HTTP::cookie "JSESSIONID"] 1920 } Finally, Loadbalance requests not handled above switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/gatekeeper*" - "/scorm_launch*" - "/aicc_bridge*" { use pool test-content-tomcat-pool } "/assets*" - "/prodasset*" - "/content*" - "/deskassets*" - "/prodcontent*" - "/production*" - "/test_images*" { use pool test-content-apache-pool } "/axis*" - "/test*" { use pool test-app-pool } } }

Also, I tried following things Attached default stream profile "Stream" on the VIP Added applicaton/shockwave in the compression list on HTTP profile Not none of the above 2 helped
