I have two problems with my flash rtmpe:// streams running via jwplayer.
-
We used handbrake to transcode some videos stored on disk. iPads play them fine but the same video files are slightly choppy when viewing from various laptop browsers. The video files are roughly 1Mbps, h264, mp3 or m4a (i forget), 2 channel audio 80kbps. I think the Galaxy Tab 10.1 starts them reliably but is I think it’s also slightly choppy. note: I don’t think I’m using h264 baseline 3.0 for my videos.

have VLC transcoding live video feed transcoding options:
#transcode{ vcodec=h264,vfilter=croppadd{croptop=20},vb=600,scale=1,fps=29,venc=x264{aud,profile=baseline,level=30,keyint=30,bframes=0,ref=1,nocabac},acodec=mp3,ab=64,audio-sync,deinterlace,channels=2 }
iPads play them fine, but this time the rtmpe:// is smooth on laptops and flakey on several Galaxy Tab 10.1’s (android 3.1 and 3.2). The Galaxy Tab if it does start, plays great, but getting them to just start is the trick. Normally it displays 1 image then stalls and sometimes after about a minute might begin playing fine. Smooth and clear.
Any suggestions on which options to chose such that the flash streams are smooth and start more reliably?
Tnks,
Jay
