[Live-devel] Packet loss when receiving streamed data via TCP

[Jacques Tebcherani]

Hi,



Thank you for the response.



I have another small question.

To synchronize my clients, I do some calculations based on the presentation time.

Is it possible that the presentation time contained in the frame send by the server can be modified by live555 library on the client side?



Thanks in advance.



Regards,

Jacques Tebcherani

I have developed a PCM audio Server/Client based on "LIVE555 Streaming Media" library (v2010.04.09).



Sorry, but absolutely no support is given for old versions of the code.





Does live555 can discards some frames?



No.  Our code simply runs in a loop, sending frames (if it's a server), or receiving frames (if it's a client) sequentially.  It never 'discards' frames.  If data is getting lost, and you're streaming over TCP, then the problem must be that data is overflowing your operating system's internal buffers (at the server and/or the client ends), which suggests that your stream's data rate is simply too high for your network.





Perhaps that the last version of "LIVE555 Streaming Media" library can solve this issue?



Personally, I doubt it - but you should upgrade to the latest version anyway.
