Hi linux-media developers,
We are from School On Internet Asia (SOI Asia) project that uses satellite
communication to deliver educational content.
We used Hauppauge HVR 4000 to carry IP traffic over ULE. However, there is an
issue with high latency jitter. My boss, Husni,
identified the problem and provided a patch for this problem. We have tested
this patch since kernel 2.6.30 on our partner
sites and it hasn't cause any issue. The default buffer size of 32 TS frames on
cx88 causes the high latency, so our deployment
changes that to 6 TS frames. This patch made the buffer size tunable, while
keeping the default buffer size of 32 TS frames
unchanged. Sorry, I have to use attachment for the patch. I couldn't figure out
how to copy and paste the patch without
converting the tab to spaces in thunderbird.
