Hi, I have a WANSCAM IP camare (AJ-C2WA-C198) which I'm testing in ffplay/ffmpeg. I noticed that playing it through its http address is much slower than when playing it with direct show. I'm linking to logs for both as run in ffplay.
ffplay displayed the video through direct http access very slow and choppy using this command :ffplay -report -loglevel debug -i http://user:pwd@IP:99/videostream.asf -an (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/5765942/). To use direct show, I installed a driver from http://alax.info/blog/1223which converts a IP cam to direct show and the ffplay speed was faster although still choppy, even with a large realy time buffer. The command line was "ffplay -loglevel debug -report -f dshow -i "video=wanscam" -an -rtbufsize 1000000" (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/5765952/) Finally, viewing the camera directly from Firefox was much faster than either method and it wasn't choppy at all. I am looking for recommendations as to what I can do in ffmpeg to speed it up so that it's as fast as Firefox. In the end I'd be using the API not ffplay. Thanks, Matt
