[Libav-user] Fwd: Problems with RTMP streams on FFMpeg

[Zuwei Li]

If the Rf > Rs, does the playback back go into buffering mode or drop the
frames to the latest frame received? Once new packets are received,
continue the playback?
Why does the stream break requiring the client to reestablish the
connection?
