Troubleshooting

If you are seeing artefacts or other glitches in the stream there are a couple of settings to change.

Latency

In the SRT protocol, this parameter is used to mitigate bad network between you and the server. It should be no less than twice the round-trip between encoder and ingest server. Increasing it will lead to slighly longer latency but a more stable stream.

  • Add the following to the end of your server URL.

  • &latency=200000 i.e srt://us-1.pixelview.io:1234?passphrase=xxxxxx&latency=200000

  • This will increase the latency from the default 120 ms to 200 ms. You can try with different numbers until you get a stable stream.
