Luke 40114 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Mark and Scott, When you have a chance can you do some audio and video testing on your respective platforms, and report back. I want to gauge where we are. Do a quick test with each of the quality settings and make sure they can play. No hls yet, just regular streaming. Thanks.
Luke 40114 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 Please use the latest code too, as of this morning.
ScottIsAFool 517 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Not at a PC, but does the ApiCilent have a streaming method?
Luke 40114 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 Yup. GetVideoStreamUrl GetAudioStreamUrl
Redshirt 1487 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I'm still working out what I'm going to do to test it. My ISP provided modem/router combo doesn't have working port-forwarding.
ScottIsAFool 517 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Can you not test it on your local network then (wifi)? You shouldn't need port forwarding for that.
Luke 40114 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Yea wifi is good enough for the moment. Tikuf has done some good external testing.
ScottIsAFool 517 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Ok, just checked it out on the phone (WP), default streaming quality is fine, perfectly watchable. Set it to highest, and man it looks nice Very good work Luke and Tikuf.
Redshirt 1487 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Scott. Were you using Quality 5 over your wireless lan, or over 4G/3G?
Redshirt 1487 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Well I got port forwarding setup and started testing the different qualities below 5. Server Speedtest Phone Speedtest (4G) As it turns out, my home internet connection isn't able to sustain streaming an SD tv show at any quality setting above Q1. I believe we're going to need to take everything below Q5 back to the drawing board. Tikuf and I have already worked on this a little bit and found that limiting the framerate to 15 and adjusting the stream size stops the pausing. -r 15 -g 120 -cpu-used 0 -lag-in-frames 16 -deadline realtime -slices 4 -vprofile 0 -b:v .25M The above setting was pausing at -r 20, so I'll try to determine where between 15 and 20 it fails.
Luke 40114 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Have you also tried a lower resolution? What are your results on wifi?
Redshirt 1487 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I can play the video I was testing above which is 512x384 and any of my HD sources over wifi at Q5 no problem.
Luke 40114 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 I'm not going to enforce framerate within the quality settings, but I did just check in a change that adds it as a param. It's maxframerate on the query string. See api client for an example.
ScottIsAFool 517 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I did standard quality and higher quality (i'm assuming that's 5). And yes, both over wifi. Haven't tried it over 3g yet.
