We noticed that a VLC release around two(?) years ago changed the way audio/video is prioritised/synced which primarily affects streaming (i.e. not file playout) in the way you described. Previously audio had always played smoothly.
This more than likely has nothing to do with live555. You can verify this by using testRTSPClient as an RTSP client: the presentation times printed to standard out will show you the relationship between audio and video time stamps and if these are fairly close together e.g. within a second, then the issue is more than likely in VLC in which case you can try to increase VLC's network jitter buffer. If the time stamps are far apart, the issue is on the server side or network side. >>> Piotr Piwko <piotr.pi...@embedded-engineering.pl> 12/06/15 10:50 PM >>> 2015-12-06 11:44 GMT+01:00 Ross Finlayson <finlay...@live555.com>: > What sort of time synchronization problem do you have when you play your > stream using VLC (as a client)?

Interesting thing is that sometimes (1/5 try) it behaves exactly as it should - synchronization occurs after few seconds and everything works correctly. I looked at RTCP traffic and there are a lot of SR packets and answers, so it seems that this functionality works correctly. -- Piotr Piwko http://www.embedded-engineering.pl/ _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions, e-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF) standard.
