I'm playing video on Android using media player via RTSP. The player takes about 12s to buffer before it starts playing. Anyone know how I can convince the player to buffer less? I have full control over the RTSP server and the SDP it returns.

As per usual, as soon as I decide I should ask a question I work out the answer. I have a line "b=AS:91" in my SDP. If I reduce the number the amount of buffering decreases - so b=AS:2 gives about 4 or 5s buffering.

  • It was a joke, I am not in favor of promoting such a bad practice... Just wanted to have some fun, nothing more. That's why I have put #PracticalJoke at the end.... sorry if anybody misunderstood this comment – Prasham May 25 '11 at 05:34
  • I'm trying to send a VLC generated stream to an android phone. How did you generate the stream and the sdp description? – jlanza Feb 02 '12 at 11:59
