hi dan,
 
i have the same problems with red5. fms seems to do buffering a little bit better, but if you use a buffertime >10 it goes to nirvana, stops between
30 - 40 seconds of buffering data. goes down to 10, and again up to XXXXX
 
iam testing right now VCS - Video Communication Server from www.onlinelib.de.
here it seems that the rtmp stuff for VOD is working now and the
buffering correctly shapes at the buffer you setup.
 
when i set 10 seconds it excatly buffers at this time ( as long you have enough dsl speed ).
 
i think bandwidth shaping is a complex to develope
 
kind regards
tom

Subject: [Red5] rebuffering on a live stream

Hi, ive been trying to work it out for days now, we are testing red5 on our production server, and it seems even a 100k broadcast can not handle it. The issue is, a client done in flex builder2 and AS3 does not seem to be able to keep its buffer, I have set the buffer time to ten, it will stay there for a while then quickly decrease down to 0 then back to 10 and starts all over again. I have even tried the same client on the server running red5 which is on a large pipe. I have now extended the buffer to 30 secs, and the bufferlength changes from 15 to 29 but never really holds 30. After 300 seconds i get around 5 or 6 seconds in the buffer and never gets back to 30.

I dont really understand how the flash protocol keeps its buffer, but any suggestions would be cool. Im also testing this on a client done in flash8 and it seems to hold buffer better than a similar client done in flex/AS3.

On the pc the buffer is showing up to 50 seconds, but on the mac browser on the same network never reaches 30. The current frames per second streaming should be 10, but especially on the mac it never reaches over 5, im assuming this is a different in the players on different platforms ?

Im going to have to try on FMS and see if its any different.
