What is the recommended buffer value at the subscriber end?
The size of the buffer depends on two factors: • Desired latency: The larger the buffer, the longer it takes for the stream to start. • Stream stability: Larger buffers allow the stream to deal with noise and interruptions better on the network. Making the buffer bigger increases the chance that the stream will play through without any stutters, gaps, or other interruptions. These two factors are conflicting: Ideally the stream should both start quickly and be stable. One way to deal with this situation is to have two different buffer settings, one for when the stream starts, and one for when the playback is in progress. This strategy significantly reduces the conflict. It allows a small buffer to be set for fast start, and a longer one to be used to ensure stream stability when playback begins. Because network issues can still affect the initial buffer size, the initial buffer size cannot be arbitrarily small. Adobe recommends always setting the buffer to a non-zero value. Live applic
