OK this is weird. Did more testing. Disconnected from the wired network and tethered to an iPhone. Now the computer can get the stream and a Wireshark capture shows the OPTIONS request using user-agent Live555. Other computers on the same wired network have no problem. Tried a wireless network that ...

I have run into an unusual problem. We have some streams delivered with a Wowza server. The server RTSP connection is on port 80 instead of the usual port 554. All of the computers using VLC to access the streams work fine. Except for one that immediately errors out. The only clue is a Wireshark tra...

I have a streaming server constraint where it takes about 12 sec for the VLC plugin to receive a response to the RTSP DESCRIBE. This is fine in the VLC Player because I can set the TCP connection timeout to about 20 secs. However when trying to use the VLC plugin from a browser I cannot set this par...

FYI, Looks like the file... vlc-qt-interface.ini in AppData/Roaming contains the offending history.

Can delete history by clearing preferences. Not the best way, but at least a way. The inability to change case in the network string is a bug.

...to remember your history. I found that if I made a case error when typing in a string such as ... rtsp://192.168.1.10/Stream1 when I meant to make it a lower case "stream1", I cannot correct it. VLC continues to remember the first entry and ignores the case change in the string. How can...

On older P4 3GHZ XP computer with SB Live! I fixed the issue by changing Hardware Accel from Nonoe to Full.

2.0.5 hangs consuming max cpu for a single thread after buffering is complete. 2.0.3 works with threads=1.

It appears that the pre 2.xx VLC that do work also print the same seq of messages but stops after awhile with the message .... "no usable vout present, spawning one" Then the sequence of messages looks like... <snip a lot>... avcodec warning: cannot decode one frame (3064 bytes) main debug...

Whoops sorry, this message occurred when I had RTP over RTSP enabled and I am working on a bug that popped up with that feature. For some reason the newer versions of VLC stopped decoding our MPEG-4. The debug messages show it receiving data but not decoding frames.... main debug: processing request...

RTSP with MPEG-4 used to work great with our encoder streams, but now it fails with the debug message...

"only real/helix rtsp servers supported for now"

Why break it intentionally?

John

I will give that a try. I need to investigate more. On a different version of our streaming encoder it works. I am now suspecting that it has something to do with the SDP data. Will report back when I know more.

I can't share a URL because this is multicasting from a hardware streaming MPEG-4 encoder. Here is a list of the messages when the stream is started. Never had a problem with any previous version. main debug: adding item `rtsp://192.168.5.132' (URL deleted ) qt4 debug: Adding a new MRL to recent one...

We have been using VLC to play streaming MPEG-4 for years. With the release of 2.0.1 it no longer can decode the frames as indicated in the messages.

The MPEG-4 is in an RTP packet. Neither RTSP or SAP, which are both supported will work.

Can you post the HTML that you use to run the WebPlugin in IE? I haven't been able to get it to work in IE. Firefox and Chrome are fine.

I'm using the lastest 1.1.10 as well.

I need to set the RTSP/RTP demux cache to a low value to reduce latency from HTTP. I don't see anything in the plugin api that would allow this. Anyone know if this can be done? Also I've tried using the sample code to register events. Any script after a registerVLCEvent call won't run. It doesn't e...

Hi ArnoBor, That cab file is from an old version. I noticed that the new versions don't have a cab file anymore. When I look at the registry it seems that the axvlc.dll is the same pluging for ActiveX and Mozilla, just accessed differently. Where ActiveX uses the ClasssID and Mozilla uses the plugin...

I'm able to get the web plugin to work fine with Firefox but no luck with IE. I'm streaming H264 with RTSP/RTP. Seems like IE responds to <object classid=clsid.... statement, whereas Firefox responds to the <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin... statement. Anyone had any luck getting IE to us...

I just ran across a problem with VideoLan Client not playing my streaming MPEG-4 with a message for each frame saying... "Early picture skipped". It was weird because it previously had been working fine. My PC had beening running without a reboot for over a month and I thought that perhaps...

Perhaps it has to do with alignment of TS packets in the UDP packet. I believe there is a change in the behavior of non-aligned packets between the two versions.

I have the same problem with installing on my RH9. Seems like you need glibc-2.3.4 but glibc-2.3.2 is installed. It's looks like trying to upgrade to 2.3.4 is a nightmare that can basically break your OS if you aren't an expert. I was successful at downloading and building the VLC source, but trying...

I am able to play MPEG-4 streams with RSTP/RTP on Windows XP Home with SP1.

I tried the daily build on my RH9 Linux machine but lost the GUI interface that I had in ver 0.7.1. I'm a bit of a newb at Linux development but I finally managed to figure out where my GUI went. It turned out that it couldn't find the libwx_gtk-2.4.so library. After futzing around and reading a few...
