Help with Low Latency realtime playback

Hello,

I'm attempting to use vlc to play an RTSP stream from a webcam. I would like to do so with the lowest latency possible, even if it means sacrificing playback quality in terms of frame drops.

I use the following command with ffplay with perfect results:

Code: Select all

ffplay --fflags nobuffer -flags low_delay -framedrop -strict experimental -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://my_rtsp_stream
Is there a mechanism for performing the equivalent in VLC? Seems like whatever I try I always end up getting more and more latency as time goes on. I would prefer to just frame drop so that I'm always as current as possible.
