The value in the vars.xml is the absolute max. 4m is an acceptable value. We calculate the quality we send based on the canvas resolution using the kush guage http://vzaar.com/blog/video-encoding-guide/ The motion factor or quality mentioned in the link above matches the quality field in the config. If the calculated val exceeds the defined max, it will be limited to that max value. The max inbound is transmitted in the sdp limiting the max the browser will send. 1080p at 30fps quality 1 is in the vicinity of 4mb 1920 x 1080 x 30 x 1 x 0.07 / 1000 = 4354.56 On Wednesday, October 12, 2016, Chad Phillips <chad@apartmentlines.com> wrote:
Tony,
rtp_video_max_bandwidth_out was the one I was missing, thank you so much! I had set video-codec-bandwidth in the conference config, but totally forgot about that global setting. Once I upped it to match the conference setting, quality issues disappeared :)
I ended up using 4mb for both settings, would love a double check on my reasoning to see if that’s the optimal value:
I figure a 640x480 video at 30FPS uses about 1.5mbps
My canvas is 1080x720, so:
640x480 = 307200 pixels 1080x720 = 777600 pixels
777600 pixels / 307200 pixels = 2.53 times as many pixels 1.5mbps x 2.53 = 3.8mbps, 4mbps fer good measure :)
Sound right, or did I miss something?

open another window/tab to chrome://webrtc-internals and look at all of the stats.
Have you made sure you are not just maxing our your local bandwidth in either direction? Did you modify the rtp_video_max_bandwidth_in and rtp_video_max_bandwidth_out vars in vars.xml it defaults to 1m

Here’s another example, perhaps this illustrates it better: https://youtu.be/PqIjubx4-wI
And it doesn’t seem to be the entire canvas at once, it’s more of a ‘washing over’. I can definitely see it also affecting the banners in this second example.
I’m also happy to drop you into a live example, it’s pretty easy to see what I’m talking about when you’re in the conference.

It does not seem to be the entire canvas to me. Look at the text labels on the layers… they don’t seem bad at all.

Mike, it’s the same if I remove video-codec-bandwidth and video-quality. This short video illustrates the issue: https://youtu.be/l8gpHhgmWRI
Notice how with just my feed the quality is much better than with the multiple feeds. The pixelation effect seems to periodically ‘wash over’ the entire canvas. I’ve had many users report this same issue, even if they have excellent internet bandwidth.
Gonzalo, I’ve got a quite beefy physical server, Xeon 32 core, 32GB RAM, and a nice fat network pipe. I haven’t ever pulled stats on packets in/out.

Ok, I tested in Firefox, same pixelation issue. One or two video feeds looks good, then it degrades as more feeds are added.
Here are the relevant params from my conference config:
<param name="video-canvas-size" value="1080x720"/> <param name="video-codec-bandwidth" value="1mb"/> <param name="video-auto-floor-msec" value="800"/> <param name="video-kps-debounce" value="30000"/> <param name="video-fps" value="30"/> <param name="video-quality" value="1"/>
