Bad Video Publishing Speed Since Commit 1863281

Resolving Bad Video Publishing Speed Issues in GStreamer Meet

GStreamer Meet is a powerful tool for real-time communication and video conferencing. However, like any complex software, it can be prone to issues that affect its performance. One such issue is the bad video publishing speed since commit 1863281. In this article, we will delve into the problem, its causes, and the solutions to resolve it.

The issue in question is related to the addition of two properties, property("sync", false) and property("async", false), for the nicesink in commit 1863281. These properties are intended to improve the performance of GStreamer Meet by allowing it to send data as quickly as possible. However, in some cases, this can lead to a published video playing at an extremely high speed, making it difficult to view or even causing it to become unwatchable.

The primary cause of this issue is the way GStreamer Meet handles video data after the addition of the two properties. When these properties are enabled, GStreamer Meet sends all its data as quickly as possible, without considering the buffer size or the receiving end's ability to process the data. This can lead to a situation where the published video is played at an extremely high speed, causing the issue.

The symptoms of this issue can vary depending on the specific use case and the hardware being used. However, some common symptoms include:

• The published video playing at an extremely high speed
• The video becoming unwatchable due to the high speed
• The video being distorted or corrupted
• The receiving end experiencing performance issues or crashes

Fortunately, there are several solutions to this issue. The most straightforward solution is to remove the two properties, property("sync", false) and property("async", false), from the nicesink in commit 1863281. This will prevent GStreamer Meet from sending data as quickly as possible, and the published video should play at a normal speed.

If removing the two properties is not feasible, there are several alternative solutions that can be tried:

• Adjusting the buffer size: Adjusting the buffer size can help to prevent the published video from playing at an extremely high speed. This can be done by setting the buffer-size property of the nicesink to a value that is suitable for the specific use case.
• Using a different sink: Using a different sink, such as the xvimagesink or the glimagesink, can help to prevent the published video from playing at an extremely high speed. These sinks are designed to handle video data more efficiently and can help to prevent the issue.
• Enabling video encoding: Enabling video encoding can help to prevent the published video from playing at an extremely high speed. This can be done by setting the video-encoding property of the nicesink to a value that is suitable for the specific use case.

In conclusion, the bad video publishing speed issue since commit 1863281 is a complex problem that can be caused by several factors. However, by understanding the causes of the issue and trying out the solutions mentioned above, it is possible to resolve the issue and ensure that the published video plays at a normal speed. We hope that this article has provided valuable insights into the issue and has helped to resolve it.

If you are still experiencing issues with the published video playing at an extremely high speed, here are some additional troubleshooting tips that you can try:

• Check the GStreamer Meet logs: Check the GStreamer Meet logs to see if there are any error messages that can help to identify the cause of the issue.
• Check the system resources: Check the system resources to see if there are any issues with the CPU, memory, or disk space that can be causing the issue.
• Try a different video source: Try a different video source to see if the issue is specific to the current video source or if it is a general issue with GStreamer Meet.
• Try a different sink: Try a different sink to see if the issue is specific to the current sink or if it is a general issue with GStreamer Meet.

Here are some frequently asked questions that are related to the bad video publishing speed issue since commit 1863281:
