Server detected a backward timestamp
Here’s another one:
Server detected a backward timestamp
FMS server went frozing , actually only some applications got frozen and this showed up in the fms logs.
This was a huge issue as there were lots of applications running on the server and finding the frozen ones and reloading them wasn’t an easy job.
I’ve done some research on this error and found what might have been the cause for it. Seams that - in my case at least - i have an autorecord script running on each application and if the stream from witch i record gets reset (play/reset status messages) causes this error to come up and eventually frozes the application as some point.
Solution: i had to rewrite the streaming code and avoid the play/reset on the recorded stream , also stop the record before such a status message came up. This seamed to solve my problem.
I’d love to hear from you if you have any information about this error.

Hey I found your post while searching for “Server detected a backward timestamp”. I’m having a hell of a time figuring out why my recorded stream freezes for a few seconds every now and then. Almost every stream I record gives the timestamp message in the log.
I’m trying to figure out exactly what your solution was. Are you saying that you were getting play status messages while recording? What was the “autorecord” part of your app?
What do you mean by “avoid the play/reset on the recorded stream”? Does this mean during recording, or you couldn’t play it after recording?
Thanks!
