Multiple playlists with PlaylistBroadcaster

  • 772

In Darwin Streaming Server 5.5.5 run on Linux.

I am having issues starting multiple playlists with PlaylistBroadcaster. I seem to be hitting a limit at 22 simultaneous playlists. Once I try to launch the 23th, I get the following error.

2009-07-09 09:39:38: FATAL: Out of File Descriptors. 
Set max connections lower and check for competing usage from other processes. 
Exiting.

And all PlaylistBroadcaster processes gets killed.

# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
386132

# ulimit -n
1024

    What do you get from ulimit -n? That should give you your "Maximum number of open file descriptors" per process.

    Edit: You can see how many file descriptors a process is using by following the instructions here and here.

    Resource limits can be set for users at login time by editing /etc/security/limits.conf. See man limits.conf and man pam_limits for details.
