In my test code, if I just publish and subscribe to my own stream, the subscribing flash player shows video that lags by about 5 seconds and plays at about 1 frame per second.
My network speed tests are fast, so is there any further diagnostics I can perform that would explain this performance?
For what it's worth, the performance was fine a couple weeks ago.
Also, it seems to happen if I don't provide an IP for session hints. I'm creating server-side sessions from Amazon's us-east-1b region, and my web browser is in San Francisco.
If I provide my browser IP address as a session hint, the performance is better. But I have misgivings as to how good performance will be when others (perhaps outside SF) join.
