Question / Help DTS Out of Order & Start Timecode Query

Hello OBS Team,

I have a live stream going on loop with some jumpiness/jitter occurring.
I have noticed that at the ingest level it is showing; DTS is out of order as well as the start duration/timecode NOT at 00:00:00:00
Would that affect the playback with jitter?

To correct this, I am trying to find a start timecode setting on the OBS encoder so that I can force that to start with a zero absolute timecode.
Does a setting exit anywhere on the application? Because I am unable to find it.

If not, how can you correct the DTS out of order error???

Many Thanks,
Mane
 
I honestly don't know. You might try asking in the development area, I'm not familiar with this error and I'm not even sure what it means, what would cause it, or if it is in any way related to the problem you may be experiencing.

If you post a logfile from a streaming session I can look at it for common errors, but I'm presuming this is related to either streaming from a surround audio source, or streaming a surround audio track, and I've only ever streamed stereo audio.
 
It's actually for a client of mine. Grabbing the logfile (of the encoder) will be extremely difficult.
I was hoping OBS would have a timecode feature that would force absolute timecodes regardless of input.

Let me know if you stumble upon any further information on this.
I will try the dev section too.
 
Not aware of any such feature. If you could do it, I imagine it would be with a custom ffpmeg output parameter.
 
Thanks.
Yeah, I believe they are encoding via the OBS encoder UI itself as oppose through ffmepg on the command line.
I guess you can add certain ffmpeg options in OBS.

Cheers.
 
OBS can use the ffmpeg encoder. You can specify custom output using FFmpeg, so if such an option exists, and OBS can pass it to FFMpeg, then presumably you could do it in OBS that way.
