riggles Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi guys, Last few weeks or so our Call of Dyty 4 Server seems to stop streaming every few days, i go to automated hub and set up again and it streams fine for a day or so then stops again. Theres nothing we use that loads any default settings. We do have an older version of the Awe mod on our server but configs seem ok as it does stream when done in auto hub. Any ideas?

fozzer Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 If you have a task running that sends regular heartbeats to the Hub pb_sv_task 0 7200 pb_sv_ver or something similar, then thats all that is required to keep servers that are empty for long periods streaming. Other admins have had this issue before and the most common root cause is a server or PB restart that execs a default cfg that does not contain the neccessary streaming commands. That would be my first thing to check ........... I'm sure others have had different reasons for the sudden none streaming issue and will post them up here (hopefully :) ) If we get a few responses with various reasons/fixes, I will collate them all and pin as a new topic.

MysticalWhim1 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 My BF2 server does this all the time for no apparent reason. PBBANS will stream fine then the server will sit empty and we get the no streaming notice. I put the pb task in that sends the heartbeat and it doesnt work, I still end up with it not streaming. I redo the entire setup process to get it streaming again and sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Right now my server is showing not streaming but I put in the setup commands in a hour ago. Maybe its all this stuff with the new server, I dont know its just fustrating that if your server isnt going 24/7 its going to give you a no streaming notice. Hopefully it will work out.
