HLS uneven segment length

[Anurag Goel]

Hello ant-media,

I'm trying to stream video via WebRTC from browser and playing HLS adaptive stream  on player. I have fixed "Segment List Size"  to 5 and "Segment Duration" to 2 but when i'm  playing m3u8 url on Exoplayer(Android)  or on webplayer, then I'm getting uneven segment length .

Because of  this I'm getting lot of buffering  issue while playing a livestream video,

Can you help me  in fixing this issue ?

Hi,

I think this thread and your previous thread is directly related to each other right?(Which is Error in playing RTMP stream on social platform)

If yes, we created an issue about this and here is the link: https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/issues/2503

Could you check if this fits your issue and if not, could you comment on it to change according to your request?

Best Regards,

Enes Kuluk.

Hi,

Actually this is different issue, this is issue in streaming of HLS.

Earlier was on RTMP

Hi,

We all planning to go  with cluster enterprise plan of ant-media on a very   large  scale,

So expecting a quick fix for this issue, as this one is very critical and blocker issue us.

HLS streaming main feature of  ant-media right? and its seems buggy !

Hi antmedia,

Any update on this ?

Hi Anurag,

I've just seen your e-mail and would like to answer. I hope I can help you.

It seems that you're getting segment length about 20s or 18s. On the other hand, segment duration is 2 seconds.

It happens when the encoder does not send a key frame interval for every 2 seconds. The HLS muxer can only create new segments when it has key frames. 

I mean you can change your keyframe interval to 2 seconds in your encoder side. 

Secondly, HLS streaming is a feature of Ant Media Server. On the other hand, the main focus of Ant Media Server is ultra low latency streaming.

I hope the comment above helps you.

Hi  Ahmet,

Thanks for clarification,

Can you let me know how to set keyframe interval to 2 seconds, I'm streaming on  WebRTC from browser.

Can configure this at ant-media server side?
