My idea was to use condition variable embedded into<br>DummySink object and waiting on condvar in another thread. Does that<br>sound reasonable ?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>Yes, it does, provided that no LIVE555 library code is called from the decoding/display thread.<div><br></div><div>You should also try to ensure that the LIVE555 thread never blocks. In particular, that means that if your 'sink' object finds that the the decoding/display thread is not currently ready to decode its frame, then it should enqueue the frame for later decoding, rather than blocking to wait until the decoding/display thread is ready. (Note that because of network jitter, incoming frames can't be expected to always arrive evenly-paced.)</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
