Problems in receiving http input stream

Postby charlest » 04 Jul 2007 09:09

I've a VLC instance streaming WebCam video via HTTP stream output (no error on the message window).

On the VLC receiver instance, it displays the messages "main warning: late picture skipped".
After a while, the receiver stops and needs to be started again.

Is it possible to configure the receiver to resume after it has stopped?
I've tried the input parameter "--http-reconnect", but no luck.

FYI: I'm using the current release.

All digital video is sync to audio. When the audio tries to sync to a picture that hasn't arrived it's late and dropped because of this. Seems that something is to slow to do what you are trying to do. What ever that is???

I've repeated the original video streaming environment without audio (audio device name is set to none).
Unfortunately, on the VLC receiver instance, it still displays the messages "main warning: late picture skipped".
BTW, the two VLC instances are on a 100Mb LAN.

Any ideas on how to auto resume the receiver after it has stopped?
