[Live-devel] Frames are corrupted

Yes, because if a frame has to be truncated, then the truncated data will be lost (i.e., not sent to the client).

Yes, there are two possible solutions.

1/ The best solution is to not send such large NAL units.  Reconfigure your encoder to break up 'key frames' into multiple (therefore much smaller) 'slice' NAL units.
2/ Alternatively (though not as good), you can increase the size of the server's output buffer.

Try adding the following line to your application - at the start of "main()":
	OutPacketBuffer::maxSize = 100000;

and recompile.  If that doesn't work, try increasing to 150000, 200000, etc., depending on the size of your frames. 

It's important to understand, though, that this is a bad solution.  See:

1/ is a *much* better solution - i.e., decrease the size of the NAL units that you're streaming.
