Controlling the cache/buffer when using the byte stream callbacks

[oviano]

Does anyone know how the caching works when you are feeding a data stream to libVLC using the new (3.0) custom byte stream callbacks?

I have tried --file-caching=X and --sout-mux-caching=X when initialising libVLC but they don't seem to make a difference.

Or is it the case that when using the library in this way that I am responsible for the caching and I should be holding data in my own buffer before allowing the library to read it or something?

You can control buffering however you want in the read callback.

Note that sout-mux-caching works the same with all types of inputs, since it does not affect input anyway.

Ok, thankyou, Rémi.

I'm really enjoying working with libVLC by the way. I'm using it with SDL on Windows. I fully intend to donate to the project.

All the best
