playing. It doesn't have much to do with the streaming protocol. What <br>
kind of content are you trying to play with what hardware and what <br>
hardware decoder or software decoder is used ? </blockquote><div><br></div><div>If my hardware was slow as vlc says, doesn't I should experience some sort of frame drop when I streaming a mp4 file directly through HTTP module. I'm experiencing this while decoding a segment rather than a whole media file.</div><div>I have segmentized an mp4 video to `.ts` and `m4s` content/segments if that you were asking about. I think vlc is not able to decode these segments when it arrives.<br></div><div>I'm not sure about what sort of hardware decoder is used? Can you please let me know how to figure that out? I think the software decoder is avcodec module. Would it be possible for me to test out ABR streaming with another set of decoder like dav1d etc? </div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">If you provide the full <br>
logs we have all these information.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have attached the pastebin for the entire error message received with `-vv` in the previous email.

decoding something properly we should use an easier version to decode. <br>
But I'm not sure that something we (can) support yet.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>While debugging about this myself a bit, I figured out that the decoder used is avcodec. So, I tried out with ffmpeg and ffplay tools to stream the ABR segments (Both DASH and HLS playlists) and I was able to streaming very well without any frames being dropped. Though, here I'm assuming ffmpeg/ffplay tool uses the same code/API as avcodec for the dash muxer in ffmpeg. </div></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers.</div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>Aniketh Girish <br>Member at <a href="http://foss.amrita.ac.in/" target="_blank">FOSS@Amrita</a><br></span></span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span><a href="http://amrita.edu" target="_blank">Amrita University</a></span><br></span></div></div></div><div><a href="https://github.com/Aniketh01" target="_blank"><span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"></span></span></a><a href="https://github.com/Aniketh01" target="_blank">Github</a> | <a href="https://gitlab.com/Aniketh01/" target="_blank">GitLab</a> | <a href="http://anikethfoss.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Blog</a> | <a href="http://aniketh01.github.io" target="_blank">Website</a><span style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"><i><br><br></i><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font size="2">"For the Love of Code."</font></span></span></span></span> <br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
