[VOD] DVB-T on demand is CPU expensive
Posted: 18 Sep 2009 12:55
Hi all,
I just want to know if your VOD server is also CPU expensive.
My server serves DVB-T channels from a dual tuner card.
For instance, when I play a 1080i DVB-T channel directly the cpu load of the process is less than 10%.
When I play the same channel through the VOD server then the load of the server process is 50%.
Only two clients connect to the VOD server. I don't know how much the load would increase if there was more clients.
And it depends on the channel. A client playing a SD channel would make the server run around 30%.
vlc 1.0.1 server on Windows Vista. When no clients are connected the load is 0%.
