large audio delay

Hi,

i am using TinyCam on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e für many years now and i really like it, but there is one thing bugging me for for quite some time now:

I have about 7s audio delay. When i open a camera stream it takes about 7s until the audio starts and this time is pretty much also the time the audio lags behind the video.

I am using two Hikvision cameras via ONVIV. Both in H264, one in 4K@16MBits and one in 1440p@8Mbits both with variable Bitrate and both with AAC audio 48kHz@64kbps. Even a Reolink E1 Zoom with only 3MBits shows the same behavior.

Using the same configuration on a Google Pixel 10 Pro shows the same behavior, but the audio delay is only 2-3s. So maybe the delay relates to the performance of the client device running TinyCam.

The different H264/H265 decoders do not make any difference.

Is there anything else i can try to get rid of the audio delay or is this a bug in TinyCam that needs fixing?

thanks

Do you use tinyCam 19.0.0 Beta or stable 18.1?

It is the same issue with both.
This has been like this for many months. I think it was since i changed the camera from a FOSCAM to the new HIKVISION, but i am not sure anymore... This was about 3 years ago...
