This update introduces functionality to stop active proxy sessions for channels before their deletion, addressing issues where streams could hang without a corresponding channel. The `stop_stream` query parameter allows users to choose whether to stop the stream during manual deletes, while automated sync deletes will always stop streams. The implementation includes updates to the API views, service methods, and tests to ensure proper functionality. Additionally, the confirmation dialog and related components have been updated to reflect this new behavior, enhancing user experience during channel management.
This update addresses the issue of Redis keys for fMP4 and profile outputs expiring during extended sessions. The TTL for these keys is now refreshed approximately every minute while the remux or transcode is active, preventing loss of coordination keys for long-running sessions. Additionally, the initialization process for both fMP4 and profile managers has been updated to ensure that TTLs are managed effectively, enhancing reliability and stability during playback. Tests have been updated to validate these improvements.
This update resolves an issue where ghost channel sessions stuck in the `initializing` state could block playback requests indefinitely. The initialization process now ensures that the `initializing` state is only written to Redis after acquiring the channel ownership lock, preventing race conditions that could leave sessions without an owner. Additionally, failed initializations are cleaned up immediately, allowing subsequent play requests to retry without hitting a stopping gate. The changes enhance the reliability of channel initialization and playback handling. Tests have been updated to validate these improvements.
This update addresses a critical issue where geventpool database connections were not properly released during stream setup and teardown, potentially leading to resource exhaustion. The `close_old_connections()` method is now consistently called in `finally` blocks across various components, ensuring that connections are released even in the event of exceptions. Additionally, the logic for resolving channel and stream names has been improved to prioritize caller-supplied names and Redis values, reducing reliance on ORM during initialization. This change enhances performance and stability, particularly in high-load scenarios. Tests have been updated to validate these improvements.
This update ensures that the Redis state for live channels is correctly cleared when a buffering-timeout failover occurs. Previously, the in-memory buffering flag could be cleared without updating Redis, leading to incorrect state reporting. The fix modifies the logic to clear the Redis state to 'active' when the buffering flag is reset, preventing stale 'buffering' states from persisting after recovery. Tests have been updated to validate this behavior.
- Enhanced the live proxy to release geventpool DB connections more effectively across various paths.
- Implemented `close_old_connections()` in `stream_ts()`, `generate_stream_url()`, `get_stream_info_for_switch()`, `get_alternate_streams()`, `get_connections_left()`, and the cleanup process in `StreamGenerator`, ensuring that clients do not hold onto pool slots unnecessarily during streaming operations.
