Video lag over RSTP (OBS Studio)

Post by zaul.mendez »

Hi there

I'm trying to solve a problem of video lag on my Amcrest IP2M-841.

After several research found the Amcrest CGI SDK which properly describe lots of stuff, I've been able to add it as a feed on my OBS Studio, also have try with Media Player Classic, no connection issues in there.

Now, the video lag is way too big (2 sec, for me that's huge compared to my others video feeds!) and down-scaling the video format, quality, bitrate seems to have no effect on this lag (would the cature of the sub-stream make any difference?).

I'm working it via ethernet passing through 2 routers (all ethernet connection), haven't try wifi connection, but don't think that could improve anything.

So, any suggestions? I'm not specting to have 0 video lag, but some 500ms (0.5s) will be aceptable.

Hope you guys can help me out! :shock:

I gather you never got a good answer. I don't mind the delay, but it seems different every time I try it. I'm running it over WiFi.
