TimeJitter

描述了SRS的时间戳矫正机制。

RTMP Monotonically Increase Timestamp

RTMP要求流的时间戳是单增的，视频流的时间戳单增，音频流的时间戳单增。所谓单增就是指单调递增，所谓单调递增就是包的时间戳越来越大。所谓越来越大就是......数字越来越大。

单增有两种情况：

• 分别单增：指的是视频是单增的，音频是单增的，但是流（混合了音频和视频）是不单增的。
• 流单增：指的不仅仅是分别单增，而且流里面的包永远是单增的。

RTMP协议没有说道要求什么级别的单增，但一般指流单增。

如果非单增会怎样？有些服务器会断开连接，librtmp会报错，flash客户端会播放不了之类。但是，实际上并没有那么恐怖（还是保持单增好点，毕竟RTMP协议里说到这个了），所以有些编码器出来的流不是单增也能播放，特别是用vlc播放之类。

Timestamp Jitter

如果流不是单增的怎么办？SRS采用非常简单的算法保证它是单增的。如果不是单增就把时间戳增量设为40（即fps为25）。这个机制就是SRS的时间戳矫正机制。

有几处地方用到了时间戳矫正：

• RTMP流分发：可以设置vhost的time_jitter来选择矫正机制。分发给客户端的RTMP流的时间戳矫正机制。
• DVR录制：可以设置vhost的dvr的time_jitter来配置矫正机制。录制为flv文件的时间戳处理机制。
• HLS：关闭时间戳矫正机制。
• Forward：关闭时间戳矫正机制。

如果你的编码器只能做到分别单增（对音频和视频分别编码的情况很常见），那么可以关闭时间戳矫正。

Config

在vhost中配置时间戳矫正：

vhost jitter.srs.com {
    # about the stream monotonically increasing:
    #   1. video timestamp is monotonically increasing, 
    #   2. audio timestamp is monotonically increasing,
    #   3. video and audio timestamp is interleaved monotonically increasing.
    # it's specified by RTMP specification, @see 3. Byte Order, Alignment, and Time Format
    # however, some encoder cannot provides this feature, please set this to off to ignore time jitter.
    # the time jitter algorithm:
    #   1. full, to ensure stream start at zero, and ensure stream monotonically increasing.
    #   2. zero, only ensure sttream start at zero, ignore timestamp jitter.
    #   3. off, disable the time jitter algorithm, like atc.
    # default: full
    time_jitter             full;
}

在DVR中配置时间戳矫正：

vhost dvr.srs.com {
    # dvr RTMP stream to file,
    # start to record to file when encoder publish,
    # reap flv according by specified dvr_plan.
    # http callbacks:
    # @see http callback on_dvr_hss_reap_flv on http_hooks section.
    dvr {
        # about the stream monotonically increasing:
        #   1. video timestamp is monotonically increasing, 
        #   2. audio timestamp is monotonically increasing,
        #   3. video and audio timestamp is interleaved monotonically increasing.
        # it's specified by RTMP specification, @see 3. Byte Order, Alignment, and Time Format
        # however, some encoder cannot provides this feature, please set this to off to ignore time jitter.
        # the time jitter algorithm:
        #   1. full, to ensure stream start at zero, and ensure stream monotonically increasing.
        #   2. zero, only ensure sttream start at zero, ignore timestamp jitter.
        #   3. off, disable the time jitter algorithm, like atc.
        # default: full
        time_jitter             full;
    }
}

ATC

RTMP ATC开启时，RTMP流分发的时间戳矫正机制变为关闭，不对时间戳做任何处理。
