Video stream locking up......

Postby seboyd2000 » 27 Dec 2003 04:41

I'm testing 2 media sources linked below. I'm using VLC 0.7.0-test2 and the mp3 test file streams in fine, but both test files lock up. Its an
http server, and my OS is WinXp. I load the sources as they are below. I tried it clicking file tab, then: "OPEN FILE & OPEN NETWORK STREAM" and pasting full link below. I played with the settings in VideoLan but still cant figure out correct ones for streaming these files, can someone tell me how the VideoLaN settings should be. Everything plays fine in VideoLan when I play it directly on my computer, streaming from site have video lock up problem..... MESSAGES says: avi error: resync failed

That's because divx and avi files suck for streaming.
You should download the movie and play them, or use MPEG.

The mp3 works in my OSX test3 version.
The mpeg generates a "invalid http reply from server" error (what http server are you using?).
It takes a couple of seconds, but then i get 'video' however the connection is too slow to view the file correctly.
