VLC 1.2.0 problem streaming RTSP

[VLC_help]

I don't get the borked messages with my VLC, but I finally found a stream that causes the issue
rtsp://infogijon4.axiscam.net:554/mpeg4/media.amp

*Bump* Any new status on this?

Incidentally, it looks like build 1.3.0-git-20120104-0004 works.

I have found that with MJPEG streams RTSP works fine for live video feeds but if the video feed is MPEG4 then I need to set network-caching to at least 200ms or else it freezes. In our case this is not 'live' enough.

With the current release version of VLC we can set the caching down as low as 50ms with MPEG4 encoding with no freezing.

hello all,
i've an ip camera gadspot n1250 (supports jpg, mjpeg, mpeg4)
i can see the video stream in vlc using
rtsp://ip_address:554/video.mp4
the camera has a standard config : 640x480 @ 25fps / bitrate = 1024
but i've 1 sec of delay so i try to change the network-cache in vlc
under 500ms image is freezing, but i really need a live feed so i try
with a directshow rtsp source filter and i've the minimum camera latency ..something like 150ms
so is there any workaround ? additional parameters to enter in vlc?
thanks
tested with vlc 2.0

yes, vlc will freeze if the caching is too low.
The minimum value depends on your connection, and there are additional buffers in vlc that you cannot remove.
