Packet has been sent too late?

[Kahoko]

I am getting debug info showing up like this:

[00000269] access_output_udp private debug: late packet for udp input (133871)

[00000270] access_output_udp private debug: packet has been sent too late (1635308)

Is this normal? if not, what can I do to fix it?

This is the command line I am running.

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv test.mov --sout '#transcode{vcodex=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128,deinterlace,threads=2}:standard{access=udp,cache=500,ttl=2,mux=ts,url=239.255.12.42}'

And lastly what does this mean?

[00000269] access_output_udp private warning: putting two PCRs at once
[00000269] access_output_udp private warning: putting two PCRs at once

Late input could point to a performance issue (system too slow?). You can try increasing the file cache for example to 5 seconds: --file-caching 5000.

The PCR (Program Clock Reference value embedded in a stream used for timing mechanism) could be not ideal for the current bandwith. You can change to lower (70 default?) to avoid sending too many "at once". For example lower to: --sout-ts-pcr 50

And shouldn't that be vcodec instead of vcodex? You're also using plain mpeg audio. Is that required? Using acodec=mp3,ab=64 (or a nearby value) you could compress audio a bit using mp3 instead to save bandwith but still have reasonable quality.
