VLC Stream Input

Postby anon_private » 02 Jun 2017 15:39

I am getting the message: VLC Stream Input Cannot be Opened.

Is this because the URL is https? If so, is there a solution?

I also note that the MRL is https://www........

Surely it should be URL, URI?

Thanks

Many many different types of errors can cause this.

Would https cause an error?

Why is the link referred to as MRL and not URL?

Can I investigate the source of the error?

Thanks
