What I did (before the latest version of VLC (1.1.0) was to re-flash my Apple TV back down to tvOS 10.2.2 (the older version of VLC 1.0.7 worked on the older version of tvOS 10.2.2). You can do this if you think the new version of VLC will work on the old version of tvOS. (Once the new version of VL...

Did anyone try deleting the old version of VLC first, then downloading the new version (vs. just doing an update) ? I don't know if this is related (and I don't mean this to be a cross-post) but I was testing beta VLC 1.1.0 on tvOS 11.1 (Apple TV, 4th gen) which, in late November, solved my problem ...

To close my original post on this thread...

Yesterday I deleted the beta VLC 1.1.0 (110.50) on our Apple TV and replaced it with the same version but downloaded it normally from the App Store, i.e., without using TestFlight.

So far, so good (thanks Felix).

Was VLC 1.1.0 (110.50) officially released via the open App Store or was your download a beta from TestFlight? BTW, we too saw the original trouble on UDP. [The following was added a few hours after the above...] I just upgraded the TestFlight Beta VLC to 1.1.0 (110.50) and it still works (plus we g...

Felix, The beta version worked great ! First I updated VLC (to 1.1.0 Build 110.40 --- more on that later) to confirmed that that version worked. Then I updated tvOS from 10.2.2 to 11.1 and the beta VLC worked great. It think it's actually more stable and less glitchy than VLC 1.0.7 (on tvOS 10.2.2)....

Just did a PM request for another code (for some reason the one you sent expired).

Cool (didn't know about TestFlight). Yes, we would want to try to a test version --- I just PM'd my e-mail address.

Do you think you know what the problem is ?

I'll try the beta first, then upgrade to tvOS 11 to see the differences.

Thanks.

Felix Paul Kühne: Yes --- thanks for the offer. How would I install the VLC beta given I normally download the release from the App Store ? Would I have to jailbreak the Apple TV (I'd prefer not to) ? If the beta doesn't work, how would I revert back to VLC 1.0.7 ( I know I can re-flash the Apple TV...

Yea, I know how to run Wireshark --- if it was a network problem --- but it isn't a problem on the wire. If it were a network problem with tvOS 11, it would be inside the network stack of tvOS 11 --- which is a passive receiver for UDP packets, not a transmitter. Monitoring the network OUTSIDE the A...

I know about Wireshark but how does that help with this issue? Wireshark is a network debugging tool. The network and source are fine as the stream can be viewed on a number of macOS devices running VLC 2.2.6. The issue is that VLC 1.0.7 works fine under tvOS 10.2.2 but breaks under tvOS 11. It's a ...

It looks like tvOS 11 (Apple TV) breaks VLC Mobile 1.0.7 and no longer functions in receiving live H.264 streams. We run an Osprey Talon G1H Encoder set to generate two H.264 UDP multi-cast streams: one at 12 Mbps 1080p/30 and the other at 1.5 Mbps 320p/15 and use a number of VLC clients to view the...

This problem has been reported a number of times (with a few different variations) under this topic but there have been no responses. If there is anyone out there who can offer any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. We, too, have this problem using VLC 1.0.7 under tvOS 11.0. Note that this w...

Break out Apple TV (tvOS) into it's own topic as it has problems that are unrelated to iOS or watchOS. The tvOS version is very buggy and behaves differently than iOS (don't know about watchOS).

Thank you.
