Hi All,

I am doing RTP streaming using VLC but the video does not start to play till the time the data gets buffered for 10-secs. Can the initial buffering be reduced from 10 sec to ~3sec, the problem persists if the data starts to buffer in between also where the video is not smooth and start to buffer for long time.

Regards,
Sudhish.

The following should be your friend in this case:

Code: Select all

--network-caching <Integer [0 .. 60000]>

Thanks for the reply Felix, but how can this be called using an API because i am using VLC libraries for streaming??

The following code should do:

Code: Select all

NSArray* options = @[@"--network-caching=[0 .. 60000]"];
VLCMediaPlayer * mediaPlayer = [[VLCMediaPlayer alloc] initWithOptions:options];
