Disabling synchronization in udpsink for reverse playback

[Krause, Mathias]

Hi,

I don't exactly know, what you're trying to do. But as far as I can say:

If you turn the sync option off, that means, that udpsink does sent the data through UDP as fast as possible, instead of keep sending the data in sync with the own clock. That means, that you get a lot of traffic, if the source provides enough data. For a live source, you may disable the sync, but I don't exactly understand, what you're trying to archive with that.

Regards,
Mathias

Subject: Disabling synchronization in udpsink for reverse playback

Hi,

I have a question related to the following bug (marked as INVALID), where it was proposed to disable sync in udpsink for live streams:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665435

It has been replied that sync should be set to TRUE in all cases.
But, what about reverse playback? The server has to send chunks in reverse order, with a non-regular increase of timestamps. Does it make sense to set sync property to FALSE in this case?

Thanks,
Daniela
