The VideoLAN Forums

By this time, I have tested several video players, including the Android apps, using the same AVI file on the same remote server. Some players generate huge incoming traffic, some players not (i.e., in the second case the total amount of received data is of the order of the original file size). So, ...

For obtaining the log file presented above, the AVI file was played linearly for several minutes. There was no any seeking from my side. So, if I understand correctly, the problem is with the AVI format itself. Thank you for the clarification. I thought it was just a bug, but it turns out to be a fe...

seeking back and forth with prefetch downloading a fixed amount of data each time

Can it somehow be avoided, at least on mobile devices?

OK, I will share the log shortly.

No, it is not the problem with the arbitrary seeking support... Just downloaded SMPlayer portable and tested the same URL for that original 700MB file. The streaming is normal, approximate speed 6MB/min.

Added: VLC with the same file - approx. 200MB/min.

Thank you for the answer! The problem is that I observed the problem with different servers. Unfortunately, I do not have my own server to check whether or not the problem is with the arbitrary seeking. However, I also asked a friend to check VLC. He observed the same effect of huge traffic for VLC,...

Hi! Sorry if my problem was discussed elsewhere, but I have failed to find similar topics on this forum. Recently I found that VLC player generates a huge traffic when watching video located on a remote server (URL addresses of the form http://domain.name/video.avi were used to set up the streams). ...
