HLS stream crash randomly

Postby KingKebab » 12 Jul 2016 00:50

Hello

Here is an HLS stream (version 3) having 6 video qualities for Adaptive Bitrate streaming :
http://sample.vodobox.com/planete_inter ... rdite.m3u8

I can play and watch this stream from the start to the end with VLC 2.2.1 on an Ubuntu 14.04 operating system.
Or with the Quicktime Player on Mac OS X and iOS operating systems.

But when I want play this same stream on a Windows operating system VLC Media Player randomly crashed ?!
I tested VLC on different Windows operating system version and different hardware configurations with the same result.

I also tested with VLC 2.2.1, VLC 2.2.2, VLC 2.2.3 and the newest VLC 2.2.4 (32-bits versions).
All these Win32 releases close suddenly when VLC switches automaticaly to another quality.
Except VLC 2.2.2 release because this release doesn't support Adaptive Bitrate mysteriously ?!

I don't think HLS engine is the problem. I think something go wrong in a Windows library of VLC when it displays/resizes the VLC window.
Because this random crash never appears on Linux operating system and with VLC 2.2.2 (Win32) that not supports dynamic quality change according to the available bandwidth.

Here is last log lines catched by VLC 2.2.4 before it crash :

Can you try VLC 3.0.0 from nightly builds?

Hello Jean-Baptiste

It's awesome ! Tested with the vlc-3.0.0-20160712-0243 build for Win32 today.
I can watch the HLS stream as a full movie without any crash :D
As other new improvement I notice VLC 3.0 will be able to display the time length of the HLS stream properly.

Congratulation for this future release.
Hope it will be available soon for everyone :)

Sorry I just forgot an information !

VLC 3.0 shows the filename of the movie "planete_interdite.m3u8" each time it switches automatically to a different bitrate stream.

It means the filename of the movie will be able to appears many times while you're watching an HLS stream.
This behavior could be annoying for some spectators.

So far, this is a known issue, and it is not fixed.

OSD and title displayed on decoder -> vout restart

You can workaround with --no-video-title-show

Hello

I added this option in my VLC shortcut and filename didn't appear anymore at Vout restart.
Thank you for this workaround InTheWings :)
