Sometimes when an MPEG-TS stream is received from media source, it may have some glitches either in video or audio. This is caused by third-party encoders which set incorrect time stamps assigned to media fragments - they may go back and forth in some un-predicted range. This also happens even when the source stream is transmuxed into other protocols, e.g. RTMP.
This may bother the viewers and also cause media servers to malfunction during the recording of the stream. Nimble Streamer allows compensating those timing issues and perform correct recording of video and audio in DVR. If the compensation can't help, then Nimble just removes the chunk and resets recording period.
Go to Nimble Streamer top menu, select Live Streams Settings menu and select DVR tab to open its settings.
Choose the designated stream properties and find Error correction section and check Drop invalid segments checkbox. This will perform the required correction to the recorded media, and the playback will be smooth from player point of view.
Keep protocol timestamps. If original stream has issues with timestamps, Nimble Streamer tries to compensate this by re-calculating correct numbers for DVR. This option disables compensation of timestamps, original timestamps are saved into the database and recording period is being reset.
Check segment sizes on load. This is a debugging option which enables validation of segments sizes in addition to getting size from the database. It's added for debugging purposes only, it increases load time for DVR archive so you should not use it by default.
