[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] avformat/udp: replace packet_gap with bitrate option

Marton Balint cus at passwd.hu
Sun Jun 12 21:30:18 CEST 2016


We haven't had a stable release since the packet_gap addition, so probably it
is worth reworking the option to something that makes more sense to the end
user. Also add burst_bits option to specify maximum length of bit bursts.
