[Live-devel] Limiting frame rate for a source

[Jan Ekholm]

Hi,

I have a USB camera that I can stream as MJPEG using a JPEGVideoSource subclass.
It all works nicely and the frames are streamed and received ok. I would however like
to be able to limit the frame rate of the stream, as it now seems to be 20+ fps. In this
case it's way too high as the use case is a surveillance camera that grabs a big overview
image, not video conferencing. I tried looking at the FAQ and the examples but didn't
see anything.

Also, is there some way to know when all clients have disconnected from a RTSP source
so that I could stop grabbing and encoding frames? It seems to work automatically for
my H264 stream, but the MJPEG stream continues encoding forever. Both are
handled using a OnDemandServerMediaSubsession subclass to create the source
and the sink.

I hope these questions make any sense and I'd be happy for any hints.

Best regards,
    Jan Ekholm
