Option for disable buffering

Gol

At first, your Skybox application is the best which i tried to use on Oculus Go! Good job!

I'm a StereoPi co-founder http://stereopi.com. It is a Raspberry Pi based open source stereoscopic camera.

I want to view live stream video from the StereoPi on my Oculus Go, and i found a way how to make it with your application. I’ve analyzed messages between Skybox on Oculus Go and Skybox server for Windows. So i found a way how to make my own playlist with RTSP and UDP MPEG-TS streams. Live stream works perfect in Skybox on my Oculus Go, here is a short video demo

But... Latency is too large. RTSP video has 10-20 seconds latency, and MPEG-TS stream around 2-3 seconds. But when i use GStreamer for the same MPEG-TS stream playback, I have a very low latency around 200-300 ms.

So i have a question - could you add an option "disable buffering" into Skybox playback settings?
Or maybe you can give me advice how to make latency lower in Skybox player with another method?

Here is my code for Skybox server https://github.com/virt2real/skybox-server

Thank you!

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out.

We are really amazed by live streaming you achieved.
For the latency issue, it's probably because SKYBOX PC Client has not been optimized to use UDP protocol.

In the near term, we do not have plan to add the feature of live streaming into SKYBOX so we have no better advice for you.
We will talk about this feature request in the product meeting this week but no promise on when to deliver it...

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Hi, I am also interested in low latency video streaming. My PC application displays a remote video feed from an RC Car with 120-130ms of latency. It uses RTSP and gstreamer.

Would you be open to supporting a pipeline like this?

Gol your project sounds cool!

Thank you for reply!
Ok, i understand. I'll try to play more with it, maybe found how to reduce latency.

Not in the near term. Sorry :(

Is there any update on this? Was anyone able to figure out low latency RTSP or other codec streaming? I’m very interested in using skybox as monitor for cutting live shows in Voysys. Even a few frames of latency would be acceptable.
