[Savonet-users] a buffer overrun solution

[Alexandru M. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi!

On a testing/development script I noticed some buffer overrun drops 
while connecting to a harbor, even if the load was not high and the CPU 
was almost idle. I'm doing some face in - fade out ... but still, it 
should not happen. The most important problem is that it drops the frame 
with the metadata as well, and the source doesn't send it again, unless 
there is a change in it.

The weird thing was that in the production script which was almost 
identical with the testing one, there were no such drops.

Finally, I found the reason. It's the buffer and max settings of a 
harbor. If max is higher than buffer with 15 seconds I get no buffer 
overruns. I don't know this is the best way to handle this problem, but 
for me it's the simplest way. Maybe it will help others too.

I also have a couple questions.
Using a fallback, how is a harbor suppossed to work? When the transition 
starts? In which conditions the buffer can be filled in with max 
seconds? When the transition back to the fallback starts?

Thanks.
