Question
Serverside Buffering ???
Hello Forum Members,
We have a problem with LiveStreaming and Lost Packages.
In our company we broadcast live streaming events in wmedia and also in flash.
For that we use a router which connects via ISDN to our fms2 platform.
We use ISDN Channels because of the need of a safe connection without net fluctuations and a good upload.
(wmedia 500k and flash 500k = 1Mbit/s upload)
So we use for one ISDN Wire both B Channels = 128kbit/s and overall 12 ISDN Wires = 1536kbit/s for both streams (a little bit more as needed for the overhead).
Wmedia works fine but flash makes problems - many frame drops / image freeze / bucking.
We think the problem is the connection to the fms over many different channels so that some packages of the one channel arrives the fms earlier than another - and so the fms dosen't get the stream in linear way.
The fms pushes the stream to the client - the client has the possibility to buffer the stream (setBufferTime()) but when the fms sends a faulty stream - the flashplayer buffers also this one.
Does anyone know if there is a possibilty to buffer the stream on the server before sending it to the clients.
Or is our approch wrong and there is another way to solve this problem.
Many thanx to All.
Daniel
