Unfortunately it's not something you can define or fix.
It has to be fixed by the developers.

Hi,
 
Looks like i didnt get the messages ... sorry about that.
 
@ Lars:
"The wrong jitter values probably come from the fact that there is no (or at least not the right) sampling clock rate defined for the used payload type." I didnt understand what you mean, who and where we have to define the sampling clock rate or how can we fix this ?

thanks!

From my memories:
packets with the marker bit set don't take part in the jitter calculation.
This is because in RTP audio streams marked packets usually mark the end of silence periods.
The wrong jitter values probably come from the fact that there is no (or at least not the right) sampling clock rate defined for the used payload type.
Both issues would be worth revisiting.

Hi,

I streaming videos using VLC on the client side and Darwin Streaming Server on server side. When I analyse the rtp stream on the client side using Wireshark, I see some RTP with marker bit set and immediately after such RTP packet the jitter value is very high as compared to the previous one, plus it also displays Incorrect Timestamp. I looked up the marker bit in the RFC 1889 but they just state it as profile specific. Kindly, can anyone provide any further explanation?
Plus does the abnormality in the jitter value means the jitter values further on are not credible ?
Thank you for yout time!

Shuaib
 
PS: I have asked this question before but didnt get any explanation, so I would kindly request all the users and the Wireshark Gurus to give some insight into this problem, thank you!
