LOLA: Low Latency Audio Visual Streaming System
4.5. Disconnecting from a remote host
The connection can be interrupted by any of the two hosts by clicking on the Disconnect
button.
When the software is shutting down, the current local configuration (i.e., audio and video
setup) will be saved on a .ini file located in the same directory as the executable, and will be loaded
at the next start-up of the Lola application. Also, the last session information (remote host address
and info) is stored for future sessions.
4.6. Debugging a connection: Bounce Back mode
To allow some easier debugging in case of problems, and to let you check the quality of your
transmission as received on the remote site, under the “Tools” menu you can enable the “Bounce-
back mode”. When selected, the remote LOLA host will start bouncing back your video stream
instead of sending its own. This action does not require any intervention on the remote host. On the
other hand, if you also want to have your audio to be bounced-back, an action is needed on the
remote host, by either physically connecting the in-out audio on the card, or by telling the audio
card mixer to route the audio in back to out channel. This bounce-back feature is still experimental
and also requires the remote host to use quite a lot of processing power.
Note: connected hosts must have the same video compressed or uncompressed
configuration. If you use an “asymmetric” video connection (compressed with uncompressed) you
cannot use the bounce-back mode.
4.7. Debugging a connection: TaskMgr
LOLA strictly rely on an error free stable network connection. To check the status of what
you are sending/receiving from your own PC, you should run the Windows “TaskMgr” application.
