#6012: Setting of "Real TIme Video" not remembered --------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: fano | Owner: yourpalal Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Preferences/Media | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: --------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by axeld): Replying to [comment:19 fano]: > I not agree to remove RealTime AudioVideo, now they are not implemented but they make sense: for example suppose Haiku used as a hybrid MediaCenter OS, I play a file and contemporary there is Web+ with 360 tab opened in background... I don't want audio or video to skip because Web+ wants to refresh a page that I not see... so the AV is in "realtime" and I'm safe. That's actually not what the "realtime" setting is about; what you describe should never happen in any mode. The setting is intended to shorten the buffer size used internally - this would make skipping actually more likely, if the priorities aren't right, or other bugs are left in the code. This needs more CPU resources as buffers are swapped more often (and hence is an optional setting. This can be used if you really need low latency audio/video; you don't need this for simple playback at all. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6012#comment:20> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
