<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am running openRTSP to test a streaming server and am running into some CPU usage problems. The client is a 533 MHz PowerPC machine with 256 MB RAM running Linux. Apparently the client is not powerful enough for openRTSP, as every time I run it see 99.9% CPU usage by openRTSP and there is anywhere from 10 - 30% packet loss. I have eliminated the server as the source of the problem, as streaming the same file to a more powerful Linux computer or a windows PC using VLC results in no problems.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">My question is two-fold: How feasible will it be to modify openRTSP to not eat up so much CPU, and where should I look to make the changes? The video file is a 10 megabit/sec video file (1.25 megabyte/sec), and you'd figure a 500 MHz machine could handle such a stream without such dramatic CPU usage?</FONT></P>
