Audio Delay In Chrome Pepper

Hi Adobe,

It is starting to look like this issue will never be fixed by Chrome as they have marked it as EXTERNAL DEPENDENCY / ICE BOX on their forums.

The latency of around 1 second is caused by the enhanced mic and only affects Windows.

After all the trouble you went to to make video chat work well (Spirit DSP Echo Cancel, H264 Encoder, RTMFP UDP) AND helping Chrome gain market penetration by bundeling it with the Flash player download, it is seems its going in the bin. Does anybody there care?

Do you advise we switch to WebRTC and never look back?

Thanks

Hi Jeromie,

I didn't manage to get much useful info on this issue.

However, we recently won the Award at the WebRTC Expo where we uniquely demo'd RTMFP to WebRTC high quality video calling as part of our platform currently deployed at Banks and Healthcare providers.

You can see the demo and interview here

Please can you put me in touch with somebody who might be interested in bringing this capability into FMS and as an alternative to Adobe Connect.

I hope you appreciate the potential,

Best Regards,

Ben W


In tandem with Chrome, we shipped all of the recommended chanes in the Chromium bugs you originally referenced with Flash Player 11.8.800.94. 

If you're still experiencing severe performance issues with the PPAPI Flash Player, I'd recommend opening a new Chromium bug specific to your use-case, as any performance-related solution will likely require changes to both Chrome and Flash.

Hi Ben,

Can you point me to the chromium bug?  I can ask our Chrome Pepper guys to bring it up with the Chromium engineering team.

Thanks,

Hi Jeromie,

The long standing bugs in question are:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=140620

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=140724

Here are a couple of pages from well known services also declaring that Flash in Chrome is broken for VOIP.

  

http://www.twilio.com/help/faq/twilio-client/audio-delay-issues-with-twilio-client-and-chrome-for-windows

http://tinychat.com/help/flash

Everyone is moving to WebRTC now because of this. Its been broken since August and appears to have nobody working on it.

Thanks

Ben

Thanks.  I've escalated this internally, and we're actively triaging.

Once we make a determination about root-cause, I'll either open a public Adobe bug to track it, or follow-up with Google about the existing Chromium bugs.
