Hi,
I remember this being answered a few times before but I can't find it...

I have a live AV broadcast and over time the latency creeps up. I think =
Bill
Sanders once posted some method that reduce the lag (by resetting
something...), can someone remind me what it was?

thanks

Stefan

Stefan,

This is actually from Version 1.0 of FCS (before the first version of v
1.5). Someone at MM had suggested it, and I honestly don't know whether
it still works, but here it is:

//reset buffers
ns.setBufferTime(0);

I used to put it in a function for both in/out streams and have it
called ever 10 seconds using setInterval();

HTH,
Bill

can anyone confirm this is still giving some benefits ?

because i find fcs slowly taking up latency when using small bw settings
(strange thing is that latency keeps growing when not hitting server bw
limit... it's a phenomenon i'm trying to solve... i will try this
setBufferTime(0) now)


Thanks Bill, you are an unvaluable resource to all of us
