Low-latency video decoding - ihavenologin - 2022-06-23
Hi,
I have a small self-made CCTV system with 5 cameras and recording server, which also can stream a video from cameras to local network via multicast.
I can watch a video with VLC player using URL udp://@234.1.1.1:12345 ... udp://@234.1.1.5:12345.
Now I have to upgrade my system and place X96+ Max Plus STB running on Amlogic S905X3 with CoreELEC 19.5 build.
I use PVR Simple IPTV Client with local M3U file, which contains 5 channels. Everything is OK with this setup, I can watch a streams and switch it by remote control.
But I have faced one issue - a video latency with KODI Video player is about 1.5 seconds more than with VLC.
For VLC I can tune a latency by :network-caching parameter (1000 ms by default). When I set it to 300 - VLC plays faster than KODI for ~2 seconds without any issues.
The question is - how to decrease a video latency for network sources in KODI?
I tried to play with <cache> parameters in advancedsettings.xml, but it seems that they are not make sense for my task.
Thanks.
