273	"h264 video decoding aborts due to too low number of ""slices"""	gerhard_s		"I'm using h264 video codec for VoIP between linphone (on my machine, openSUSE 11.4, x86_64, using ffmpeg git dated on 20110604 and libx264-115) and Bria 3.2 (on Windows 7) on the other end.

I had the problem that after a few seconds the call terminated issuing
the message ""Too many slices, increase MAX_SLICES and recompile"".

I patched h264.h by increasing MAX_SLICES from 16 to 32 and now it works fine again.

I think MAX_SLICES is currently too low, should be increased to at least 32.
I don't know if Bria would send even more slices if the bandwidth was even bigger or video resolution was bigger. Is there a limit given by the codec for a reasonable upper threshold?"	defect	closed	normal	avcodec	unspecified	fixed	h264 slice MAX_SLICES				1	0
