[q] How to reduce latency? about videojs-contrib-hls HOT 4 CLOSED

There are a lot of things that can introduce latency. Have you looked at the network graph in your browser's developer tools? What sort of delay are you seeing to the m3u8s and segments?

Player starts to play after downloading 4-5 ts segments, each segment has length 1 sec
And it seems like .setBufferTime() is set to minimum(0.5 sec)

Apple recommends using 10 second segment durations. Smaller sizes increase the number of round-trips necessary to build up enough buffer to begin playback, so the delays you're seeing are not surprising to me. You can try re-segmenting with Apple's tools or playing with the options in your encoder.

I'm not sure what method you're referring to with bufferTime(); there is no method with that name in the HLS tech or video.js that I'm aware of.

In ffmpeg you can use "-g" parameter, which means "frames per chunk". In case of 24fps and desired 2sec per chunk, you can set parameter like "-g 48"
