Hi,  
I’m continuing to work on getting OpenVidu CE in my local dev environment. I am using the latest latest version of Openvidu. I am able to connect my Publisher and Subscriber perfectly but after some regular interval (approx 10-15 minutes) stream get disconnected automatically.

When i checked the browser console i found below message

- streamDestroyed reason “mediaServerDisconnect”
- Event ‘streamDestroyed’ triggered by ‘Publisher’ StreamEvent

**surprisingly** there was no Browser Reload, no Force disconnect and no Openvidu server restart at my end…then i checked the openVidu log and found message like “Running non active sessions garbage collector” and the setting was **`OPENVIDU_SESSIONS_GARBAGE_INTERVAL`** - “900” seconds.  
I tried to reduce the time from 15 mints to 2 mints and rechecked the whole scenario and found “StreamDestroyed reason mediaServerDisconnect” is happening at every 2-3 minutes.

I am not sure why it’s behaving like this despite i have 1 Publisher and 1 Subscriber **[It means given session is an Active session]**. Please help how this garbage collector of non active/active sessions runs. Am i missing something in setting or code?

**Few more information**  
O.S - Ubuntu 18.04  
App+Openvidu CE - On same local machine  
Publisher - Chrome  
Subscriber - Chrome Incognito

Hello @rohit.roy

can you share your OpenVidu server logs with us? It seems a bug in OpenVidu.
