We use HLS streaming for live video, we would like to decrease delay time to real time, so we choose chunkLength=2s in command to EvoStream.
Results : As long as it’s displaying stream video, it delays more.
For example, when it starts display, it delays 8s. After a while, it delays 14s -> 18s -> 26s -> 35s -> 55s … then the HLS player skip frames and back to delay 8s -> 14s -> … Could you help to check this issue more ?
I guess the issue comes from playlist.m3u8 ? It looks like 2 seconds in real video that will be displayed/created in ~ 3 seconds of TS files. So as long as it’s displaying stream video, the difference is longer. This also happen for different chunkLength 10s, 6s, 4s. We always set I-Frame Interval = 1s.
