Real server streaming, quality problem
I have a question to experienced people with media streaming.
Sometimes we do a video broadcast using realserver. I am watching the video with no problem, and half of the viewers can watch without any problems. Another half of viewers complain about the quality. they are getting slide show and real player is rebuffering every 20-30 seconds, although their speed is good enough to handle the video stream, which is 512 kbit/sec. Even when I got 30 players connected - I do not feel the difference and I cannot check the quality from another locations, I got 99% packets received. Some users say that in "rush hour" your server is overloaded. I cant find where the problem is, what causes this "rebuffering" in real player.
Server is linux RHES on dual xeon 2.8, 2 Gb memory, 100 mbit uplink.
Stream is encoded at 512 kbit/sec.
