Hey @ibc, thanks a lot for showing me the light! I have ditched ffmpeg in favour of gstreamer (which is wayy better with support for NACK), and after some tweaking around using output from `producer.getStats()` like you suggested, things are looking pretty awesome, I have ~40 clients streaming simultaneously with hardly any dropped packets. And of course, thanks for this amazing piece of software!
