[Live-devel] delay in h.264 streaming using mplayer

[Anirban Dutta Choudhury]

Hi,

I am experiencing an accumulating delay while playing h.264 stream
using mplayer(1.0 rc2-4.3.2). The delay is accumulating very slowly.
Initially, there is no noticeable delay at all for first 10-15 min.
And then gradually, the delay becomes visible. After a overnight run,
the video looks frozen. And then every now and then, there is some
jerky video playback (like one will see while fast-forwarding a
video), and then the video freezes.

I used following command line options and followed the mplayer manual
to my very best, but in vain.

-slave
-flip
-nosound
-nomousinput
-loop 0
-lavdopts skiploopfilter=nonref
-hardframedrop

I tried the same in windows. There I have a constant delay of 1 sec.
But nothing is getting frozen. So, my guess is that it may be some
buffer in live555 is getting filled up. What else can I try?

Regards,
Anirban
