videa lag with activex - live-cache doesn't seem to work

[deanwarrenuk]

I have two system:
A. Conventional VLC app on Windows
B. VLC activex component with thin app on Windows

When using A and with live-cache at 300 I see video latency in the order of 300ms.
When using A and reducing live-cache to 0 I see no noticeable latency in video.
When using B and setting live-cache to 0 via the activex MRC I still see latency.

It is as though the MRC live-cache does nothing?

Does the activex component support the live-cache option?
Has anyone tried this?

Please try it as follows:

Code: Select all

var options = ":network-caching=0"; vlc.playlist.add("http://yourvideo", "", options); vlc.playlist.play();

If this does not help, you could also try :live-caching=0

Not running in a web page. Someone has written a managed C++ wrapper (app) to use the activex plugin. I wonder if the same object e.g. Vlc.playlist is still available I.e. Can I use the same API (albeit in C++)?

Will try as soon as I get a newer visual studio installation as 2010 is too old

Use libvlc directly
