# OpenSourceTimeout

The amount of time that Media Server should continue attempting to read a file or stream. If Media Server cannot start reading the source within this time, ingestion fails.

Type: | Time duration (seconds) The value of this parameter is a time duration. Specify the duration in the following format:
         1days 2hours 3minutes 4seconds 500milliseconds 600microseconds
You can omit any of the individual durations when they are not required:
         4seconds 500milliseconds
You can also shorten the string by abbreviating the units to their first letter (milliseconds abbreviates to ms, microseconds to us):
         4s 500ms
The following are all equivalent:
         1minute 3seconds
         1m 3s
         63s
A single number without any units specifies the value in seconds, but this functionality is deprecated and Micro Focus recommends that you specify the relevant units. To specify an infinite duration, use the value `Infinite`.
Default: | 15s
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName
Example: | `OpenSourceTimeout=20s`
