[FFmpeg-user] Decklink output latency, high

[Martin]

Hi!

Reducing the probesize removed basically all the delay, did not now that
the probesize had that impact. Big thank you for the tip!

 With the default probesize you could see a freeze frame of the first
decoded frame for a couple of secs, if I lower teh size it will start
decoding instantly. I compared to OBS SRT input and I'm now able to go
lower then the default input. Setting the probesize to low causes the SRT
input to trigger error/warning unable to store incoming packets so got to
try to find the best option for the probesizde for my needs without
triggering any errors. Latency is well within in my needs now.

The output is bursting a warning  from the SRT library in my compile, so
its a bit hard to get anything from the output, maybe a bit
uniniteresting now that I was presented with a working solution.

To sum things up, reducing the probesize removes the long delay I was
experiencing from the input stream on the decklink output.

Thanks again!

Regards Martin
