[vlc-devel] RTSP-Streaming, frames dropped when RTCP sender report arrives

[Max Göttner - d.stream]

Hi Sébastien, 
thanks for your quick answer.
What you say, was my original guess as well. Unfortunately it seems hard to proof. The only relevant message I get is 

  main output error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

I also could provoke the following error, when pushing the camera towards its limitations of ressources
  
  ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay increased to xxxx ms)

This would indicate a buggy camera timestamp generation? Streaming with mplay did not produce the frame-skip, though. I have been
analyzing the camera deeply and I appreciate any hint or input for further investigations. Is there a possibility to ignore rtcp packets?

Greetings, Max.

Look at vlc logs, you may see pts warnings.
when SR are received, RTP timestamps are adjusted.
I had a camera with buggy SR, resulting in frame skipping.
