latency issue?

[gregd72002]

Hi,

I've been looking for a solution to do remote testing on rpi. Like QT applications run on my PI and just trying to display it back on my local computer.
Both the RPI and my PC are on the same local, fast network.

In general telepi works great. However I do seem to have latency issue (using netcat with mplayer as well as vlc way). The longer it streams the bigger the latency. I could live with sub 10sec latency but from my experience the latency I get is 30sec and increases all the time.

Do you have a way around it?

I've not looked at the code for a few years but I might consider investigating some improvements after the end of the month. If the latency is increasing over time it could be that the display frame rate does not match the encoding frame rate causing it to drift.

So when I use VLC I am getting many warnings:

[009ba400] mux_ts mux debug: adjusting rate at -189605/213366 (95/1)
[009ba400] mux_ts mux warning: packet with too strange dts on pid 100 (h264)(dts=43395664149,old=43395955067,pcr=43395955067)

Every time it happens it looks like the latency increases.

I tried to look this up but the only explanation I could understand is between timing issue or encoding issue. This made me think - can we use MJPEG instead of AVC?
