How to only use (a mode for?) lowest bandwidth & interruption/lag-proof audio?
It seems Jami tries to optimize auto and video qualitity, which is probably the best default.
But what is one supposed to do, or to configure (up-front) when using a often intermittently weak and/or slow remote connection (of possibly quite good volatile but never continuously perfect quality)?
Ideally, I guess there would need to be a button to switch the preference over to "Minimize bandwidth/data requirements" for this situation.
But with the many codec selections available in the audio/video settings, is there maybe already some workaround possible?
Idea that emerged from the discussion:
Have a single preference instead of the current
- Videobitrate setting,
- missing Audiobitrate setting,
- and hardcoded Codec preference and parameters.
Bandwidth Usage
-
minimized (frugal)
Adaptive (greedy) up to
-
64 kB/s -
128 kB/s -
256 kB/s -
512 kB/s -
1MB/s -
unthrottled
(Individual codec selection (i.e. to enable/disable specific codecs) would have to stay in the advanced/media settings.)
