libVLC on qt(windows) - caching and buffering logic

[Rahul29]

Hi all,

I have a Qt application which relies on libVLC for video playback.
I built VLC on a Windows machine following the official documentation.

Everything works fine and smooth but now I wanted to understand how I settings to do some fine tuning.
Videos are streamed over rtsp, I directly pass the rtsp url to obtain the video stream. URL: rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.253.99:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true

The idea is to obtain the live streaming. Soi tried passing the option caching-network=200 but there is no change. rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.253.99:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true :network-caching=200
But there is no change. I still have a delay of 1-2 sec.

My questions for you guys :

- how does the caching/buffering work on VLC?

-How do I set network-cashing?

- Am I missing other important options?


Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Does VLC show the same delay?
