Hi all - anyone willing to share their µMPX settings? Like key-frame interval and error correction settings, or choice of bitrate. Is there actually a need to adjust the defaults? |

No not really, unless your connection is unstable. I'm using 64 (span) / 16 (overhead) for error correction. I'd suggest leaving keyframe interval and bitrate at their default value. |

I'm running a test setup right now, and had drop-outs with 64/4, now trying 64/8. |

Curious to know what your network is like that is seemingly causing issues? Packet loss, jitter? |

Now with 64/8 i got lots of messages like: Quote:

I can't correlate the dropouts to high local usage yet. The µMPX is also wrapped in a WireGuard VPN tunnel to make virtually fixed IPs and add some security. µMPX decoder sometimes says it had recovered 1 lost packet but too late so silence was being played. |

How can I best deal with this: Quote: Audio loss
BTW, I'm running ST 9.83 on Windows, µMPX Decoder on Pi4.
0 Packets missing / 0 Packets too late / 1 Recovered but too late Player 0.158 seconds of silence |

How often do you have audio loss? If it is intermittent, it might be worthwhile setting up some form of network monitoring in an attempt to narrow down the issue? When it occurs, does a traceroute provide any clues? |

If you get the "recovered but too late" often it could also be an indication of that your recovery span (the 64) is too long compared to your playback delay (buffer). 64 is roughly 2/3s of a second, which means it can do any recovery every 0.66 seconds. If your playback delay is 1 second, it has 0.33 seconds to actually do the recovery before playback needs to happen. You could easily increase the playback delay or decrease the recovery span to find out. |
