When recording with Flashphoner and using file splitting, the server sometimes will start spitting out unusable files every couple seconds. We have observed this issue since ~5.0.31xx, up until the newest version of 5.1.3415. Sometimes it takes a couple minutes for this issue to happen, sometimes it takes days. It seems to happen at random.
To reproduce this issue, we ran on Flashphoner 5.1.3415. We ran the broadcast from the Stream Recording Demo page. It was configured to split the recorded file every 5 minutes.
Streaming began at Aug 10 18:24. Recording worked fine until Aug 11 03:29. It continued dumping files until the stream was stopped at Aug 11 12:48. In 18 hours, 24 minutes, Flashphoner created 31,594 files. (1 file every 2.09 seconds).
The server had plenty of storage. After we stopped the stream, only 9% of the disk was used.
There was nothing abnormal in any of the log files. The internet connection to the server / broadcast computer stayed consistent throughout the test.
