Jittery display due to network delay for streamType=live

Question

Hi,
We are using OSMF(Strobe Media Player) that becomes jittery as the network delay between the player and the publisher of the livestream increases. A Red5 media server publishes the RTMP stream produced by an ffmpeg instance to the player.
When the player and Red5 are in the same room, the video display is smooth; when the client is in a different room (same building), the video either displays faster or it freezes and when it recovers, it displays faster than normal.
We believe this is due to our inappropriate values for our player settings.
Our settings are as follows:
bufferTime=0
initialBuffer= 0
expandedBuffer=0
optimizedBuffering =false
When buffering is inactive, the display becomes faster than normal.
When we allow buffering, the display keeps on freezing and then displays faster when it recovers.
Any and all suggestions are much appreciated.

Hi,
You should be able to find the default parameter values in setup.html.
For live, it is liveBufferTime or liveDynamicStreamingBufferTime, depending on the type of your asset.
My suggestion is to start from 4-10 seconds and tweak from there.
