[FFmpeg-user] HTTP playlist stream copy to an IP QAM modulator

[Anacelia Sarlo]

Reuben, thanks to answer. I did 2 tests :
1. I received the stream with VLC and I have a similar problem like with
the IP QAM.
2. Transcode the stream and the video its ok.

But my doubt is, if I receive the "stream copy" with ffplay, it runs
perfect!, so
it seems the response to my problem is, the way ffplay process/recover the
time base.

If I enable a debug it looks like every time ffmpeg make an http request
for
the playlist, there is a delay until receive it, and seems at this point
the video freeze, and then continue.
Thanks for another suggestion.
Ana
