[Live-devel] Increasing video latency for RTSP client

[Ross Finlayson]

No.  If the stream is being sent properly, then the receiving client should be receiving H.264 video NAL units (with proper ‘presentation times’), to feed to your decoder.

Does an existing RTSP/RTP media player client - e.g. VLC - play this same stream properly?
