Just to add some info here. Using ffplay via tcp, I get significant, intermittent videoqueuing (vq) as shown in the log here: C:\Users\XXXX>ffplay rtsp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9000/live -rtsp_transport tcp ffplay version N-106799-g0914e3a14a-20220505 Copyright (c) 2003-2022 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 11.2.0 (crosstool-NG 1.24.0.533_681aaef) configuration: --prefix=/ffbuild/prefix --pkg-config-flags=--static --pkg-config=pkg-config --cross-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32- --arch=x86_64 --target-os=mingw32 --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --disable-debug --enable-shared --disable-static --disable-w32threads --enable-pthreads --enable-iconv --enable-libxml2 --enable-zlib --enable-libfreetype --enable-libfribidi --enable-gmp --enable-lzma --enable-fontconfig --enable-libvorbis --enable-opencl --disable-libpulse --enable-libvmaf --disable-libxcb --disable-xlib --enable-amf --enable-libaom --enable-libaribb24 --enable-avisynth --enable-libdav1d --enable-libdavs2 --disable-libfdk-aac --enable-ffnvcodec --enable-cuda-llvm --enable-frei0r --enable-libgme --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libjxl --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-librist --enable-libtheora --enable-libvpx --enable-libwebp --enable-lv2 --enable-libmfx --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libopenh264 --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopenmpt --enable-librav1e --enable-librubberband --enable-schannel --enable-sdl2 --enable-libsoxr --enable-libsrt --enable-libsvtav1 --enable-libtwolame --enable-libuavs3d --disable-libdrm --disable-vaapi --enable-libvidstab --enable-vulkan --enable-libshaderc --enable-libplacebo --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxavs2 --enable-libxvid --enable-libzimg --enable-libzvbi --extra-cflags=-DLIBTWOLAME_STATIC --extra-cxxflags= --extra-ldflags=-pthread --extra-ldexeflags= --extra-libs=-lgomp --extra-version=20220505 libavutil 57. 24.101 / 57. 24.101 libavcodec 59. 27.100 / 59. 27.100 libavformat 59. 23.100 / 59. 23.100 libavdevice 59. 6.100 / 59. 6.100 libavfilter 8. 37.100 / 8. 37.100 libswscale 6. 6.100 / 6. 6.100 libswresample 4. 6.100 / 4. 6.100 libpostproc 56. 5.100 / 56. 5.100 Input #0, rtsp, from 'rtsp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9000/live': 0B f=0/0 Metadata: title : www rtsp live comment : LIVE555 Streaming Media v2017.01.26 Duration: N/A, start: 0.033333, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High), yuvj420p(pc, smpte170m, progressive), 1280x720, 8 fps, 8 tbr, 90k tbn [swscaler @ 00000250b7356a00] [swscaler @ 00000250b7365a00] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set range correctly [swscaler @ 00000250b7356a00] [swscaler @ 00000250c09c0740] deprecated pixel format used, make sure you did set range correctly 488.76 M-V: 0.091 fd= 329 aq= 0KB vq= 2062KB sq= 0B f=0/0 vq was upt to 5MB.
