## qtv_adjustbuffer

### Description

Enables balancing of the buffer lenght of the QTV stream. When turned on, the size of the stream buffer (the delay from the actual action) will be auto-adjusted (by changing the playback speed when necessary) so that it stays on the same level most of the time.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 1

### Values

value | description
1 | Auto-adjust buffer size
0 | Do not adjust buffer size, always play at 100% speed

When turned on, the speed of the playback may change sometimes - that's how the buffer lenght is balanced. But usually you want to have this turned on when you are watching a shoutcast-commentated game because you want to stay synchronized with the commentary.

## qtv_adjusthighstart

### Description

The level on which QTV buffer auto-adjusting will start. E.g. when set to 1.5, (and qtv_adjustbuffer is 1), QTV buffer auto-adjusting will start when buffer length reached 150% of it's normal length (determined by qtv_buffertime setting)

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 1

Variable is float.
Only values higher than 1.0 make sense

## qtv_adjustlowstart

### Description

The bottom level on which QTV buffer auto-adjusting will start. E.g. when set to 0.5, (and qtv_adjustbuffer is 1), QTV buffer auto-adjusting will start when buffer length reached 50% of it's normal length (determined by qtv_buffertime setting)

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0.3

Variable is float.
Only values lower than 1.0 make sense

## qtv_adjustmaxspeed

### Description

The fastest possible playback speed when QTV buffer becomes excessive and auto-adjusting starts. The higher the speed is, the faster the QTV buffer length will go down to normal levels.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 999

Variable is float.
Only values above 1.0 make sense

Works in conjunction with qtv_adjustbuffer 1

## qtv_adjustminspeed

### Description

The slowest possible playback speed when QTV buffer adjusting takes action. The slower the speed is, the faster the QTV buffer will fill up.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0

Variable is float.
0.5 means 50% of the normal playback speed

Not allowing to slow down enough, buffer level might still drop down to zero if there were longer network lag. This causes pausing during playback. Allowing to slow down too much is noticeable.

## qtv_buffertime

### Description

Defines how much the client buffers from the QTV stream

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: 0.5

Variable is float.
in seconds, values below 0.2 are treated as 0.2

This determines the "delay" you will get from what is actually happening. For example if you want to synchronize shoutcast commentary with the QTV stream, this is the variable you need to change.

## qtv_chatprefix

### Description

String that will be added at the beginning of all messages send to a QTV chat.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: $[{QTV}$]

Variable is string.

## qtv_event_changename

### Description

Text pattern used when an user changes his name on a QTV stream

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: &cFF0changed&r name to

Variable is string.

## qtv_event_join

### Description

Text pattern used when an user joins a QTV stream

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: &c2F2joined&r

Variable is string.

## qtv_event_leave

### Description

Text pattern used when an user leaves a QTV stream

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: &cF22left&r

Variable is string.

## qtv_gamechatprefix

### Description

String that will be added at the beginning of all messages send from QTV to the server where the broadcasted game is being played.

Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD

Default: $[{QTV>game}$]

Variable is string.
