VLC fails to read legitimate sdp files (even files generated by VLC itself)

Hello, I have serious problems in reading sdp information for RTP sessions. Here are two quick tests that demonstrate them: 1) Generate an .sdp file with VLC.

(RTP packet (H264 packet)) i.e. skip the ts/ps muxing when sending H264 over R...

Re: VLC can't reproduce mono G.711 (pcm mulaw)

Thanks Remi,

However.. I asked this question because finally, I would like to read raw, mono G.711 from a udp port.

So I guess that's not possible then..

Dear Remi, If the same problem occurs in ubuntu, linux mint, arch linux and gentoo (I have tried by explicitly testing with ubuntu and mint, others were confirmed by google), I can safely assume that the problem occurs in ALL linux distros, so then I can't agree that it is a distro problem..!
