libVLC sends DASH get_url request twice

[Jo2003]

Hello,

Happy New Year!

I have a problem when playing back some DASH video from an IPTV provider. It looks like the request to the stream description (XML) is sent twice while first answer is used to afterwards request stream parts. But the second request already invalidates the first response.

Could you please have a look?! Maybe you find a reason for this behavior. I use libVLC in an Qt application, but VLC itself does the same whith the double request.

Thanks in advance,
Jörg

Congratulations to 3 billion downloads!

Can I submit some more information so someone would have a look? How can I help?

Thanks in advance!

Once to probe the data, once to read it?

Thanks for your answer!
Sounds logical. Nevertheless the question is why VLC uses the first answer (session key) for subsequent calls and not the second one. The second call invalidates the first session key. If VLC would use the last received answer for subsequent calls all would be well.

Thanks,

Hi, you made the fix in 3.x branch or in 4.x branch?

Thanks!
