[Live-devel] delay in playback/transfer?

Fri Apr 15 17:36:22 PDT 2005

Hi everyone at live.com

We are building a robot we control with a live video stream. The video 
stream is based on testMPEG4VideoStreamer with our own implementation of 
DeviceSource.cpp. We are running the feed over an 802.11b network with 
both the robot and the client connected to the same  access point.

Current we have apr. 1 sec delay at the playback. Is there some 
buffering going on in the liveMedia code, or is there any other known 
way to decrease the delay in the playback?

We have tried to eliminate the buffering in VLC by:

rtsp://192.168.2.101:8554/ratatoskMulticastStreamer  :rtsp-caching=0

Any help would be much apreciated.
