[x264-devel] x264-devel Digest, Vol 77, Issue 17

[Badri Gopalan]

Thank you all for your suggestions, really appreciate them ! I was already planning to re-start the encoder as a last resort, but the next two suggestions are very valuable to me. I shall look into trying one of them.

Best,
bgpl

I think you better restart the encoder when a new user comes into play.

Subject: [x264-devel] any pointers on how to insert a 'real' IDR frame in a    periodic intra-refresh stream ?

I'd like to insert a real IDR frame at some points in a periodic intra-refresh stream (to provoke flashplayerto start playing it - it does not start playing until it receives a full IDR frame). Everything a user joins a stream, I intend to try to use this mechanism to generate a full IDR frame, and none after that (until another user joins).  
While I have done this successfully in a non intra-refresh stream, I have not yet seen how to do this if the stream is an intra-refresh stream.
Any pointers much appreciated,thanks and regards,Bgpl

Is there any reason you can't simply force the frame type?

It is not required.

You just need to look into SEI and if there is a recovery block in SEI,
than mark this frame as keyframe. It works in Flash Player.
