Steve,
Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, I don't entirely understand either. Basically I was having trouble with FFMPEG, but I tested with VLC and it did sync. I will try rebuilding ffmpeg and resyncing and I set up a local NTP server to improve device NTP synchronization, I'm not sure why that would matter as I had multiple streams from the same camera failing to sync - and they share the same device clock. So maybe ffmpeg isn't the answer. I chased down RFC6051 as I thought if it were fairly easy to turn on, it is likely many media sinks would understand it and Do The Right Thing. Unfortunately, this can be muddy waters because ONVIF chose a slightly different method of achieving the same goal and while similar the header extension is not identical. Optimally, there would be easily enabled code to generate the necessary header extensions for RFC 6051 compliant headers (A or B), ONVIF compliant NTP headers, both, or neither. If implementing RFC 6051 header decode (assuming it were available) is problematic - it might be easier to look at sending rapid resynchronization request packets - RFC 6051 3.2: If the RTP/AVPF profile [RFC4585 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4585>] is in use, this feedback message MAY be sent by a receiver to indicate that it's unable to synchronise some media streams, and desires that the media source transmit an RTCP SR packet as soon as possible -David -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Live-devel] Delay problem of the first RTCP "SR" packet From: Steve Ha <stev...@u2sr.com> To: LIVE555 Streaming Media - development & use <live-de...@us.live555.com> Date: 2021-01-22 05:09+0300
Hi David, The RFC-6051 seems good for quickly synchronization, but it requires a big effort to adapt to the current library and I am not sure if it is worth enough to do so. I don't understand your issue well so I have no idea. Sorry. Steve.

Ross provided a really good answer to my question - to which I owe a response and am working toward (side-quests have intervened as a kernel update once again broke my e1000e network driver and this time the fixes are not fixin' the problem - totally irrelevant to this). In any event there is a standard defined to extend the RTP packet structure to include NTP time stamps, RFC 6051, precisely to enable more rapid synchronization of multi-source RTSP streams. I feel Live555 would benefit from at least having the capability of optionally adding RFC6051 NTP header extensions. -David -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Live-devel] Delay problem of the first RTCP "SR" packet From: Ross Finlayson <finlay...@live555.com <mailto:finlay...@live555.com>> To: LIVE555 Streaming Media - development & use <live-de...@us.live555.com <mailto:live-de...@us.live555.com>> Date: 2021-01-22 10:01+0300 > > >> On Jan 22, 2021, at 4:05 PM, Steve Ha <stev...@u2sr.com <mailto:stev...@u2sr.com>> wrote: >> >> My question is how can I force the first RTCP "SR" packet to be delivered at the same time as the first RTP packet so that the RTSP client could get all frames with correct PTS? > > Basically, you can’t.
