Doing x264enc tune=zerolatency made the video quite pixelated but really didn't affect the latency.<div> </div><div>A brief explanation of what I am doing:</div><div> </div><div>I am using AppSrc from gstreamer-java to grab rgb buffers from a large java app and putting them out as x264enc / rtph264pay / udpsink. That is the stream I am picking up with the test-launch pipeline I am working on. I can attach a gst-launch pipeline to the AppSrc output and display with very low latency so the delay is in the test-launch pipeline. I just reduced the size of the captured buffers in the AppSrc interface from 640x480 to 320x240 with improved latency so it appears that the amount of data in the pipeline is important. I have checked cpu usage everwhere with nothing showing over about 3 -5 % usage. All the involved computers are connected by gigabit connections.</div> <div> </div><div>Morris <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 9:00 AM, Tim-Philipp Müller <<a href="mailto:t.i.m@zen.co.uk">t.i.m@zen.co.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> On Tue, 2011-03-01 at 08:43 -0500, Morris Ford wrote: > This morning I cranked up my test and I was seeing about 10 second > latency.
