Some pics (wouldn't let me include them in the previous reply! I think it didn't like inline images rather than inserting from a file and now it's told me I have to wait 600 seconds and now 1800 seconds before adding another post as I don't have enough reputation points! )These settings stopped the phone stuttering at the expense of recording frame rate which i fear may also impact the NVR - can anyone confirm that ?ThanksRodp
Hi All,I have an update... By reducing the frame rate (via the web user interface of the camera) from a default of 20 for clear and 15 for fluent down to 4 or 6 respectively, the audio no longer stutters, so that's great new, however this is detrimental to the video frame rate that you view on the phone but at least you can actually now here the person speak clearly now. Would this setting also stop full 20fps or 15frps recording on an NVR if I was to buy one?On a technical front, changing the FPS will amend the encoding process on the camera I suspect. Some other devices (i've borrowed) have been fine at higher frame rates - even at the max) so do you think this might mean a problem with the encoding (ie camera firmware) or decoding (a combination of the phone and app)?Changing the birate has no effect it seems, changing to the lowest quality or leaving it on the highest settings makes no difference. However, disabling the hardware decoder setting on the App on my phone does cause the audio to stutter again, even at the lowest frame rates.Please could someone advice what this might mean (as technical as you like as I will plan to forward this to the engineers in hope that can make a change).ThanksRodpKey points: (unable to paste images in!)Fluent mode: On the web user interface, by increasing the Frame Rate setting from either 4 or 7 to 10 or 15, the audio starts to stutter on the phone app.Clear mode: When I am using the App on High / Clear mode, reducing the FPS from 20 down to 6fps or lower stops the audio from stuttering.Disabling the hardware decoder setting causes stuttering to occur again, even at these low FPS settings, on both Clear and Fluent modes.Phone in use, Android 8.0, Samsung A5 2017
I am having problems with audio stuttering in the app using an android 8 phone (does anyone else have this problem?). Gut feel tells me it's the audio bitrate or format that is in use in the app (streaming to vlc on phone or using the web browser is fine but of course you can talk back using these options!).So please can you allow us to choose the audio quality / bitrate in the app.Thanks Rodp
Hi @joseph_1979, sorry for the late reply. I am able to watch and listen to the video and audio with no skipping or stuttering when using vlc or the web browser version on my phone and so i think that rules that out. I wonder however if the app is using a highly compressed audio stream but that doesnt really fit as the video is fine even on the clear setting. Is there a way I could try the stream that the app uses in vlc?It would be great if you could run the app with a debug mode incase we may then see something that identifies the problem.If anyone else has an android 8 phone, it would be great if they could test the app out as that would prove as to whether it's the phone or app.Thanks Rodp
Does anyone else have any suggestions? This has somewhat scuppered my thoughts and plan in using the reolink app and as a whole other reolink devices for I assume that any other reolink camera I buy will also run into this issue.Thanks Rodp
@joseph_1979 thanks for the reply, I have access to a huawei media tab 2 and that shows the same issues. However I have just asked a friend to trial it as they have a brand new moto g23 running android 13 and it looks like it's fine on that, so it's not just my phone, but could be something due to older android versions? Memory is not an issue on my phone. 700-1.2gb rom memory free.Any thoughtsRodp
Hi All,Have recently setup a reolink doorbell but am finding the audio is stuttering. Support have not been able to solve it so far so it invariably means i cannot use the live stream to listen to the visitor when they ring the doorbell. When i talk back to them the audio at the door bell end is fine. These are the things i've tried all to no effect.App hardware video off and auto scaling, clear or fluent mode, going back to an older app version, wired connection instead of wifi, different device (huawei media tab 2), adjusted volume, uninstall numerous apps including reolink app and reinstalled.On the app the audio when turned on is fine for about 1 second and then starts to stutter. The video doesn't seem to be impacted and remains smooth. Playing h.264 high bit rate mp4 files is fine on my phone.I have tried the http access via a chrome browser on my phone and that interestingly is absolutely fine. No stutter. But the problem is there is no two way talk.Does anyone have any suggestions in fixing this stuttering or knows how to enable two way talk via the browser?Thanks in advanceRod
