Īnother sometimes required option is the mode, which can be caller, listener or rendezvous. It has a default value of 120 ms = 120 000 μs and should be at least 2.5 * (the round-trip time between encoder and ingest server, in ms).Įx: for a latency of 1 sec, set latency=1000000.
The most important option is latency in microseconds (μs).
The full list of options is those supported by FFmpeg. OBS Studio will accept options in the syntax: srt://IP:port?option1=value1&option2=value2.
So enter the URL as srt://IP:PORT?mode=listener&timeout=5000000 If however the stream is received straight from an encoder in caller mode, add the mode=listener to the URL (see screenshot). If the stream is received from a server (in listener mode), the SRT connection will be in mode=caller (which is the default one so the option can be omitted). VLC restrictions: SRT must be in caller mode (this is the default) and not in listener mode. One can use either VLC Source or Media Source.
