Question
live stream sample with big delay
Hello,
some days before we started evaluation of the flash media development server for windows. All live video stream samples taken from adobe media encoder (320x200, VP6, std bitrates) seem to have big delays up to 2 or 3 seconds on the client flash player. I think this is a "little bit" too much when server and client are running on the same local host.
As soon the connection to the source stream is established the stream starts on the client without any delay BUT it starts with frames from >=2 seconds before.
So there seems to be a problem on the server that caches too much data from the media encoder source before sending it to the client. I modified the MinBufferTime in the related live Application.xml file to 200ms instead of 2000ms but nothing changed. Maybe for some unknown reason those settings are ignored because I also tested 8000ms and I also tried to modify the gloabal Application.xml of the virtual host but there is no difference. I always get those big delays and it gets worse if I also stream audio data.
I tried it on two different computers with the current FMS release but the delay occurs on both platforms. I searched in several fms & flash boards but there seems to be no user with the same problem.
What's wrong? Any ideas?
