vlc - chromecast multiple devices slow loading

Postby Rob_887 » 13 Nov 2024 19:40

Hello,

I'm really hoping someone can help me as I'm racking my brains.

I use this code in a batch file to stream Hikvision CCTV to multiple Chromecasts, and it works nearly perfectly. But for some reason, there is a 20-second delay from the title appearing on the TV to the stream loading.

Even if I do it manually inside VLC, there's still a 20-second delay.

It doesn’t matter if it’s one stream or three; it always takes 20 seconds.

If I directly stream a file in VLC to Chromecast, it’s a 1-2 second delay, which is perfect.

I tried network streaming something other than my RTSP CCTV, and it was also a 1-2 second delay.

If I play the RTSP directly in VLC, it has no lag and appears on the screen right away.

i'm thinking maybe next step is using another software like Nginx to convert RTSP to HTTP stream and put that in VLC see if its quicker.

I'm just wondering if anyone can help. Thank you.

set VLC_PATH="C:\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" set RTSP_URL=rtsp://Fan:fakey@192.168.0.184:4001/Streaming/Channels/402 %VLC_PATH% -vvv "%RTSP_URL%" --sout="#duplicate{dst=chromecast{ip=192.168.0.244,mux=mp4}}" --demux-filter=demux_chromecast --network-caching=100 --rtsp-caching=100 --file-caching=100 --config "C:\VideoLAN\VLC\vlcrc" --no-plugins-cache
