Re: throttleing dss?



I was using 5.5.1 on Suse Linux 9.3  

My clips were using way more than 2x their encoded bandwidth. 
Streaming to quicktime players on windows desktop machines over 100Mbit
LAN as a test for doing streaming video for our website.

Jeff:

By default, QTSS/DSS will send each stream at up to 2x the bit-rate  
of the source. That is configured in streamingserver.xml:
                 <PREF NAME="overbuffer_rate" TYPE="Float32"
>2.0</PREF>

What is your client? Are streaming to cell phones, Real Player for  
Mobile? If so, are you running the latest version of DSS? The "not  
enough bandwidth" error usually occurs there. In the latest version  
of the streaming server, we have accommodated with specific tweaks in 

the server configuration.
