Streaming via ftp: vlc-problem with the path?

[Zusan]

Hi,

Iam trying to stream a file via ftp from my Topfield satellite-receiver SRP2410. Other users report to have managed to stream files from this receiver using ftp and vlc under windows, so this should generally work. I have a link that points to a file on the receiver: ftp://username:password@192.168.x.y/DataFiles/2.rec

Using this link in firefox downloads respectively opens this file without problems. But using the same link in vlc (open network stream) gives an file not found-error. I attached a log below (verbose level 2). I replaced ip, username and password here, so dont worry about that, they are correct. I also replaced "ftp://192.168.x.y" with "FTP-PATH" in the logfile, because there are only 4 urls allowed in a post here!?!

It looks for me as if vlc doesnt separate dir and filename in the ftp-path. Unfortunately I dont know if this is normal behaviour. I already posted in a forum for the satellite-receiver, but the user there dont have any more ideas.

Iam using windows 7 HP and vlc version 1.1.7. I reinstalled vlc already deleting all settings and cache. I would be happy to receive ANY help.

Regards,

Zusan
