The VideoLAN Forums

Hi everybody,
I hope this is the correct section I am developing a server/client scalable (H.264/SVC) streaming with VLC. On server side, I would like to adapt the stream depending on the packet loss value. I've already implemented an adaptive system but with a counter (every time the counter reach 500, the server upgrade/downgrade the layer). Now I have to change from the counter to the packet loss value.

Where I can get this value inside the VLC code?

Thanks for your help!

Currently, VLC does not keep track of packet loss (except to report discontinuities).

Thanks for your reply
In the VLC code is instead possible to have the numberof RTP packet received from the start of transmission or from a definite point of time?

Thanks again

Luca

You can infer it from the number of blocks that the packetizer or the decoder receives.
