BUG: RTMP Streams disconnect because of heavy storage writes

Author: Vinayk93Created Feb 20, 2025Updated Jul 26, 2026

RTMP automatically destroys because of high storage writes. Is RTMP using disk for any use? How can we minimize disk usage? We generally use only use 1 stream with 1 client and sometime in between any 10 days It stops working automatically.

here is the config.

rtmp {
    server {
        listen          1935;
        chunk_size      4000;
        ping 30s;
        ping_timeout 15s;
        idle_streams off;
        buflen 20s;
        drop_idle_publisher 15s;

        access_log  /dev/stdout;

        application livestream {
            live on;
            interleave on;
            record off;
            sync 10ms; 
       }
}

writes approx 0.3 mb per minutes
