Audio and video streams have high latency #1395

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The current implementation of audio and video streaming in the prototype HTML5 
client have very high latency, as much as 30 seconds. This can probably be 
improved - some research needs to be done.

Things to check:
- Tuning (buffer sizes?) in Icecast server
- Alternate server implementations for streaming audio
- Reducing number of buffered segments or segment length for HLS streaming
- Get other streaming video formats working (WebM?)

Keep in mind that the streaming formats over HTTP go through browser buffers, 
which probably add a baseline 2-5 seconds of buffering that we cannot get rid 
of.

Closing this issue since it's still an area of active development.
