Question

Webcam Live video from Client 1 to Client2

Using the LiveStream Application Sample provided in the FMS 3 download, and by slightly tweaking the Stream application, we've now reached the stage where User A can stream live video to the FMS (by opening an HTML page with embedded SWF - livestreams.swf) and USER B (by opening a separate HTML page with another embedded SWF - stream.swf) can watch the video.
However, we are experiencing delays of >30 seconds between the transmitted and displayed video. This is on a machine with no load, and all inside the LAN.
Any ideas how we can improve on that?

    Usually the delay shouldn't be >1 to 3 second even when FMS 3 is running in optimized mode. Just to pin point where the problem lies (in your publisher swf OR your FMS installation) you can try this:

    1. streaming with FME and subscribing with livetest.swf.
    2. streaming with your publisher & subscribing with livetest.swf.

    try look into your NetStream.bufferTime() the swf which is publishing the stream to FMS, and also in the livetest.as file might help. its value should be as low as possible (usually 0 - 3 second).
