# ECP-0115: Hosted Web Player Jitter Budget

Status: Draft

## Problem / context

After redeploying the hosted `every.channel` web watcher, a live relay smoke stream subscribed and rendered video, but Chromium still logged repeated `seeking backward` corrections around 0.75 seconds. Those corrections are the same symptom class that presents as choppy live audio.

## Decision

Raise the hosted web watcher's live jitter budget from 750 ms to 1250 ms.

## Consequences

- The web player has more headroom before it seeks backward during relay/source timing jitter.
- Hosted live playback trades roughly another half second of latency for smoother audio.
- The change is limited to the web watcher; publisher and archive behavior remain unchanged.

## Alternatives considered

- Keep 750 ms. Rejected because the deployed smoke stream still produced repeated correction warnings near that threshold.
- Jump to 1500 ms or higher. Deferred because the smaller increase should address the observed threshold while avoiding unnecessary latency.

## Rollout / teardown

Deploy the updated web asset to Cloudflare and verify the live `app.js` constant. Teardown is restoring the 750 ms value.
