Streaming latency?
#1
Greetings fellow pirates,

As a neophyte in this realm I have just discovered, I keep discovering new hurdles. Now that I have achieved the goal of casting my content wirelessly to my TV and connecting my phone to my PC as a remote control, my latest annoyance is the realization that when I watch a video over that network of connections on my TV, the video stream isn't smooth, but jumps or skips frames. My guess is that it has something to do with network latency in the connection between my PC and TV.
I jumped through lots of hoops to get this network of connections setup to be free of the tyranny of the media monopolies sucking on my wallet, only to find another hoop to jump through.  

Is their a fix for this, or is this something I have to live with?

It sounds a lot like the type of cable that you should be using is one that will cater for lots of bandwidth.  As myself, not a fan of wifi, I usually choose to hardwire devices to ensure they work accurately.  I'm not trying to diss wifi but the bandwidth is always better with a hardwired connection especially on home networking like say between your computer and your router or your router and TV etc..  My advice is explore other possibilities as simply wifi is not that great and I strongly advise against it due to poor performance.

Yup, that's pretty much what I figured too. Sad

if you are using vlc to stream to your tv, try increasing the cache size:

tools/preference/input-codecs

set it higher. seconds are measured by 1000. so, if you want a two second cache, set it for 2000.

i mention vlc because you said it solved your sound issue in a different thread; the more information you provide, the better the advice.

I didn't know about such things, but now that you've told me what to look for, I see that there are several adjustments under input/codec for caching: file caching, live capture caching, disc caching, and network caching. Which ones should I adjust?

FYI, network caching did the trick! Now my content streams as smoothly as on my computer! Heart

I was also tormented by setting up new channels for promoting and monetizing my projects! BUT my good friend helped me with this! The main thing is someone else's experience!
