    what is delta encoded ? ADPCM ?

    Could the algo prevent clicks in the case of packet loss in low latency streaming ?

    woah what is this fastpast magic ?!

    Maybe I'm missing something but A->B is likely to be faster than A->S->B ?

    There is flexibility - in the P2P model if one of the clients has bad latency - their buffer gets increased to prevent drop outs. How is a server better in this scenario?

    Hey thanks. You can also send the backing track ahead of time a little so that you both hear it at the same time! Do you mean that you want to mix the inputs from multiple devices …

    P2P doesn't require any computation on any server - it's essentially serverless. It doesn't make much sense to me at least to need to compress everything twice and have multiple bu…

    Basically similar issue to Sonobus. Relay could work buy it probably adds latency and it certainly adds complexity. I may know a way to improve some NAT configurations but need to …

    Also I live in a village in Denmark near Aarhus. I believe my connection goes via Copenhagen which is actually the wrong direction! Though it is true that Denmark is very well conn…

    Honestly I was a bit blown away when I got it working the first time ! It kind of mental that I can capture audio and compress it - send it through all these layers and machines - …

    I used the standard 2.5ms. I know you can go lower if you want, but then you need a higher bitrate as it's "custom". I turned off FEC as it adds latency. Jitter buffer right now is…

    no retransmits - Opus handles a degree of packet loss pretty well. Not using FEC as it adds extra latency.

    Comment #28973764

    Well you do need to find a server midway between all the users, which is a hassle of course. I don't personally like the model either becuase it needs to decompress, mix and recomo…

    Thanks! I haven't ruled out opensourcing, but honestly I already have limited time and in my experience open source takes _more_ time commitment (I get that you will get free help …

    I would like to make some money with it to continue the support, but it's not clear yet the best way forward. Currently it's donationware, but other models could be a subscription,…

    It uses WebRTC for the video, but the audio latency of WebRTC is too large and uncontrollable. As stated in the post, the audio uses a custom C++ UDP solution. As far as I know it'…

    you could but you don't need higher latency.

    Comment #28971669

    You must have set it up wrong. It doesn't add any latency, but you do need a higher bitrate to get similar quality.

    The issue with Jamulus is that it requires a central server - which means it needs to be close to everywhere . It also needs double buffering and double compression. P2P is the way…

    That sounds really crazy bad. Europe here so I don't know much about US - but I've had US people use it an report good experience - so dunno.

    You could - but you can also just drag in an audio loop already.

    You can play with Wifi - it's OK - but you get probably 5-10ms better latency with Wired LAN. Also I think you have a lower tolerance for latency of your own actions vs the latency…
