We use HDFVR to record videos. When we use RTMPS instead of RTMP, the time it requires to upload the video to the server is almost 10 times slower than uploading it via RTMP. Also, playing a video is much faster than recording it. Our observations are roughly as follows:
-
RTMPS recording is almost 10x slower than RTMP recording
-
RTMP recording is 5x slower than RTMPS playing
-
RTMPS playing is 1.5x slower than RTMP playing
We use Wowza, HDFVR and jwPlayer. In any of these scenarios, the load of the server is moderate, so that can’t be the issue.
Any idea what’s going on here?
Thanks!
