how to reduce rtsp stream lag ?

[mighty_scoop]

Hi together,

yesterday i implemented libvcl to encode and display a rtsp ip camera stream (either mpeg4 or mjpeg). Unfortunately i noticed a significant lag (1-2 sec) which makes the stream for my purposes useless.
Does anybody know why there is a lag (the original cam software shows the live stream without lag) and how to reduce or eliminate it ? Oh btw. i'm using vmem.
Thx in advance

Hi together,

i manged to solve this problem. I had to change the rtsp-caching value in the vlcrc file to a lower number (200 works very well) are use the --rtsp-caching option.

Greetings
