I need to setup the buffer to give the client connection a 5-10 second buffer. I have tried to hire people to help since I am kind of new to the server, but haven’t had any luck getting responses so I guess now I am looking for some tips.
I am using Wowza 2. Is the buffer controlled by the server, the client or both? I didn’t see anything in the Application.xml file that I could modify and tried using the code below on the client side but as soon as I disable my network card to test the buffer, the stream drops instantly. I tried putting the bufferlength in a couple different ways as you can see, but none of them have any effect.
Some of my users in remote areas can’t keep up with the stream without a buffer and need to get this up as soon as possible.
