[Live-devel] RTSP streaming to Android Client

[Ross Finlayson]

> I have an server client application. client is an android client. I am using the Live555 server for streaming. I have used VideoView Widget of Android to play the stream. I am having an latency of about 2-3 seconds in frames on server and client. Also the playback is not smooth, it bit jittery.

No, latency like this is almost always occurring in the client (when it buffers, decodes, and renders incoming media data).

(The only exception is if you are streaming RTP-over-TCP over a very congested TCP connection, in which case some of the latency might be caused by network buffering inside the sender's OS (*not* the LIVE555 server code).)
