Lag Issues is H264 running properly.

    Mouse/Keyboard has lag. 5sec-10sec. Sometimes 2sec
    How do I check if H264 is running properly? I get this message while following the steps in post https://tinypilotkvm.com/blog/whats-new-in-2022-05#enabling-h264-video. My logs https://logs.tinypilotkvm.com/vmjT4lAM

    Upon installing I am not fully sure if H264 is installed. I get some either early or stnd termination. On logs seems H264 is installed I do find. --h264-sink tinypilot::ustreamer::h264
    --h264-sink-mode 777
    --h264-sink-rm
    This time I did have a very low upload while testing.
    What is the minimal Internet Upload for Tinypilot to stream 3k,5k Bitrate or 1080p quality.
    Using Tailscale over Internet (Not localnetwork) both Ethernet cables. Using a usb box to convert ethernet cable to laptop(might that have any affect?). Connecting from EU to US.

      Hi @TopBun - thanks for reaching out to us with your questions about lag and H264 support.

      There are some unusual errors in the logs that suggest H264 support might not be installed correctly. I appreciate it's a bit of a hassle but would you be able to try disabling and then re-enabling H264 support?

      What is the minimal Internet Upload for Tinypilot to stream 3k,5k Bitrate or 1080p quality.

      TinyPilot uses around 20Mbps of bandwidth when using MJPEG at the default frame rate and quality. This reduces to around 5Mbps for H264 at the default settings.

      Using Tailscale over Internet (Not localnetwork) both Ethernet cables. Using a usb box to convert ethernet cable to laptop(might that have any affect?). Connecting from EU to US.

      TinyPilot works well with Tailscale provided the Internet connection at both locations is sufficient. It's unlikely that using a USB to Ethernet adapter would cause any bandwidth related issues.
