VLC No longer playing m3u streams from my dreambox ;(

[hogy-ch]

I have a dreambox and have been using VLC to play the stream from the tv list locally on internal network. since i have updated to the latest VLC i can only get one channel

the rest give this error

Your input can't be opened
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://192.168.1.102:8001/1:0:1:140:39:1:FFFF01D2:0:0:0:'. Check the log for details.

Always used to work before. please help. or tell me where i can download a older version that worked.

this problem started since 1.0.0, now have 1.0.1 same problem

What happen it you try to play directly the stream described in the m3u?
NB: Maybe related to some topics about Freebox issues (in which I have crossed IPv6 in logs too iirc)

Newer and older versions are available for download here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html

tried copy and pasting the link

http://192.168.1.102:8001/1:0:1:140:39:1:FFFF01D2:0:0:0:

directly into the network window and same error.

I stupidly upgrade all 3 of my computeres to the latest verion of VLC (VLC upgrades in the past have been very reliable),

now even if i down grade does not seem to work properly. what was the version before 1.0.0 that worked

i have looked at the other forums , but most people are trying to stream over wan. (add complication of firewall on router etc) in my case its over LAN so there should be no issues of fire wall problems

And what does log says?

* What happen if you encode your lasts ':' (replace them by %3a)
* Are you sure your URL ends with a ':'?

[hogy-ch]

tried replacing : with %3a

makes no difference

is have 219 channels on the dreambox , some work, for example

this one works

http://192.168.1.102:8001/1:0:1:115:A6:1:FFFF025A:0:0:0:

and this one does not

http://192.168.1.102:8001/1:0:1:20E:A5:1:FFFF017A:0:0:0:

before all worked from a m3u file

[hogy-ch]

here is the error log

for me it might as well be in chinese.

Code: Select all

access_http error: error: HTTP/1.0 502 Bad Gateway

This means the http server can't answer to VLC (error 502).

Here is a test description of server-side http error 502:

Bad Gateway The gateway server returned an invalid response.
The HTTP server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request.

In other world, the web server 192.168.1.102 tries to connect to another server to answer your request but get an error when doing that (either can't route to this other server or this other server answered it can't or refuse to answer to 192.168.1.102.

There should be more information on the http servers logs.

have not had tie to check the logs but ued to work perfectly with the previous verion of vlo prior to 1.0

[ajmas]

Are you saying it still works with a previous version, or did work last time you tried a previous version? If it is the latter, could you check again with an older version?

[hogy-ch]

I am saying it worked with the previous version, and will have to find where i can donwload the .96 somthing . stupidly i just upgraded all the computers with out checking first. just strange does not work with current version which should be more refined
