Jitter/ Lag Issue with mjpg-streamer

Antony

Hello,

I am attempting to characterize the issue I am facing with mjpg-streamer.

It seems that jitter occurs after some time of use.

I feel like mjpg-streamer has been updated and not the same exact install on my previous omega onion pro 2 board.

Any suggestions to what maybe causing the jitter and how to solve this?

Thank you!

@Antony in the absence of any other feedback my thoughts are as follows:

Are you on wifi or ethernet?
When you are experiencing jitter, run traceroute to see if there is a bottleneck at some point in the route between your device and source of the stream.
When you experience jitter, what is the resource load on your device? I'd start with the top command to understand if there is CPU or memory issue you can identify. Or perhaps there is another process that is consuming resources and in so doing starving the streaming process (CPU, mem, network etc).
