sout buffering change

Postby DanBrwn » 14 Sep 2005 23:17

Would like to see the stream out allow user selectable buffering amount. Right now I think it is hard coded for 1.5 seconds in the stream_output.c file here starting at line 555.

if( p_mux->i_add_stream_start >= 0 &&
p_mux->i_add_stream_start + I64C(1500000) < p_buffer->i_dts )
{
/* Wait until we have more than 1.5 seconds worth of data
* before start muxing */
p_mux->b_waiting_stream = VLC_FALSE;
}
else
{
return;
}

I and some others apparently want to do close to real time live capture and display. With the inability to set this up, we are always limited to a buffered, delayed signal even when that is not required for our purposes. A command line argument for the --sout object would be nice. Say in milliseconds or hundreds of milliseconds. I don't have to have exactly real time of course but letting me decide based on my needs and bandwidth would be very helpful. I am in process of trying to compile the sources to try to work around this right now. Thanks
