How to fix pixilating / artifacts appearing in Streaming video

image-20240126-210842.png

If you see pixilating / artifacts appearing / coinciding with the CPU running high, you can adjust the values in the IP Camera Show Advanced field.

  • To show clearly what to change in Advanced field values:

    • network.buffer_max=0.5 → Changed to 2

    • network.buffer_min=0 Changed to 1

    • network.low_delay=true → Removed

  • Example of Default Advanced field string:

    • Default:
      network.buffer_max=0.5 network.buffer_min=0 network.low_delay=true loop=true

    • You can change to:
      network.buffer_max=2 network.buffer_min=1 loop=true

  • Example of Advanced field values (we use to get HikVision cameras to work) full strings before and after below:

    • Before:
      network.buffer_max=0.5 network.buffer_min=0 network.low_delay=true loop=true external_process=false experimental.mfcodecs=true experimental.out_video_packets=true experimental.out_audio_packets=true probesize=32 loop=true

    • After/Fixed:
      network.buffer_max=2 network.buffer_min=1 external_process=false experimental.mfcodecs=true experimental.out_video_packets=true experimental.out_audio_packets=true probesize=32 loop=true

You’ll can also do the same on other Stream Desktop application Channels you have connected to other cameras that may be experiencing the same issue.
