I'm still very new to all of this. I've been working on a project that involves re-broadcasting an mjpeg stream. I began testing on a windows machine and was very happy with the result. However, to aid in management of the tool I moved over to a linux machine. Even though I am running the same command, the linux stream is much poorer quality and has a longer lag time. The two machine's are comparable with respect to memory and processing power. Does any one have suggestions for how I can make VLC in linux produce as good a stream as I am seeing from VLC in windows? Here is a comparison of the quality (linux on the left, windows on the right):
Here is the command I am running in windows:
vlc --sout="#transcode{acodec=none,vcodec=mjpg,vb=1024}:std{access=http{mime=multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=--7b3cc56e5f51db803f790dad720ed50a},mux=mpjpeg,dst=:9000/image.jpg}" "url/to/stream"
and in linux it is the same but using cvlc instead of vlc. In linux I see the following messages once the stream starts:

I also just ran apt-get update and apt-get install vlc-nox to make sure I had the newest version on linux. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
