[vlc-devel] live-caching > 60 seconds

[Eric]

Super old thread, but I happen to be looking to do the exact same thing
(increasing the local/network buffering to greater than the 60 seconds
limit)

Have you found a solution?


For my purpose i need video delay from capture device about 3 - 5
> minutes. There is a limit in live-caching option specification 60000 ms.
> First I tried to overcome this limit by setting INPUT_PTS_DELAY_MAX in
> src/input/input_internal.h to 300000000 (5 minutes) instead of original
> 60000000 (1 minute). With that I can reach the delay more than 4 minutes
> but only with unusable video resolution 160 pixels. With higher
> resolution I observe some memory drops and delayed video doesn't work.
> This drops doesn't depend on amount of physical memory which has never

Thanks!
