I have read the archives on trying to reduce latency on the streaming
server.
The general view was to reduce the <PREF
NAME="reflector_buffer_size_sec" TYPE="UInt32" >0</PREF> config to 0.
Some people said this worked well, others didn't have an luck.
I had problems, but have figured it out so would like to share my
findings.
If you open the config file in something like BBEdit (something that
reports on when a file changes on disk) you can see what is going on a
bit easier
When I changed my config file I tried restarting QTSS (both through the
web interface and from the command line doing various kill -HUP and
straight kill). However when I tabbed back to BBEdit, it reported that
the config file had changed, and sure enough, when i reloaded, the
previous delay settings were still there. This made me think that
there must be a process that is writing the config file back at regular
intervals. Why? I don't know....
now change your config file.
restart QTSS through the web interface
I have got the latency down to under a second over a wireless lan with
moderate MPEG4 encoding settings.
I knew it should have been possible, but it took me over 4 days to
crack, just because QTSS kept doing things behind my back ;)
Hope this helps anyone else that has been stuck on this.
