Sorry, the last message was cut.
The delay still appears even when only decoding a single camera. The
only program able to properly decode is VLC. So it's not a network or
hardware problem. I do believe though that the decoder cannot keep up.
@Jeff (or anyone listening)
... I will get into multithreaded decoding. This might not belong here
but maybe you can redirect me to the right direction. Working with 5MP
and larger streams, did you by any chance work with Libav?
I'm on windoze.

Hi again,
So it seems I do have a problem with CPU and non-multithreaded decoding.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks a lot for your input. Indeed it was CPU not keeping up. We
have had good experiences with threads dedicated for decoding
sessions with streams of even more than 5MP. Problems come up when we
have too many of these, of course there is so much you can ask the CPU.
For me it was that one of the sources was streaming at a very high
bitrate.
Best,

This is probably not a live555 issue but there are 2 things that
come to mind that the larger streams stress without using a lot of CPU.
Decoding not keeping up. (Buffers on client side, watch client
memory to see this.)
Single threaded decoding can take more time to decode than the
duration between frames when they get large. This can happen even
with less than 50% of a single core.
Reduce quality settings on stream,
Reduce framerate.
Reduce resolution.
Skip most or all the decoding. printing out the framesize,
timestamp and type once every 60 keyframes or a keyframe only and
see if it eliminates the delay
Recompile the the decoder to use multiple threads.
TCP vs UDP (Buffers on server side, usually delay->loss of
framerate->skips to catch back up->repeat.)
Network delay impacts the required buffer on the camera side more
if TCP transport is chosen.
It may have to resend so it hangs on until the ACK. If the buffer
is small and gets full the camera starts to drop frames.
It also is just plain more work, try UDP transport.

Hello all,
I'm trying to decode RTSP H264 streams, there is an IP camera
that has 5MP frames. I used to have lots of decoding errors and
this was due to the receive buffer size. Using the
increaseReceiveBufferTo(...) function I managed to fix the
decoding artifacts.
Now however, I have an ever-increasing video delay, it starts
small but keeps delaying over time. I don't know what could be
causing this. The program does very little else so I don't think
the computer cannot keep up.
Is there something within Live555 that can cause/prevent such
delays?
Thank you,
