## Description

This element reorders and removes duplicate RTP packets as they are received from a network source. It will also wait for missing packets up to a configurable time limit using the "latency" property. Packets arriving too late are considered to be lost packets.

This element acts as a live element and so adds "latency" to the pipeline.

The element needs the clock-rate of the RTP payload in order to estimate the delay. This information is obtained either from the caps on the sink pad or, when no caps are present, from the "request-pt-map" signal. To clear the previous pt-map use the "clear-pt-map" signal.

This element will automatically be used inside gstrtpbin.

### Example pipelines

    1
    gst-launch rtspsrc location=rtsp://192.168.1.133:8554/mpeg1or2AudioVideoTest ! gstrtpjitterbuffer ! rtpmpvdepay ! mpeg2dec ! xvimagesink

Connect to a streaming server and decode the MPEG video. The jitterbuffer is inserted into the pipeline to smooth out network jitter and to reorder the out-of-order RTP packets.
