Buffering & skipping issue on nsv broadcasts

Post by madikonda »

Hi jay,

I have another problem.

I am currently streaming in a LOCAL lan. in a 1GB Lan Network. No traffic during my tests.

While running steamcast on server1 and streaming a local tv station using a tv capture card via NSV tools to the server1. stream at 100kbps bitrate.

And a client from pc1 using winamp access the stream. Winamp continuously re-buffers and also skips after the play resumes.

Using vp6 at 90kbps video with 22kbps for audio.

I am the single client on the network.

I have tried changing the metarefresh interval in the steamcast setting to 16384, but no change.

Any suggestions for me?

thanks

I have set it up on a public server and the ame problem.

here is the link to my stream http://209.97.215.34:8000/testtv.nsv .

My config is the default steamcasr config. Watch for at least 5 mins. and you will observe the buffering and skips.

vlc viewer simply dies after a few tries. winamp is the most stable on this stream. why???
