The VideoLAN Forums

The more common problems with a new installation of Windows XP are: 1. Missing AGP or PCIe drivers. These are specific to your motherboard chipset and required for your video card to function properly. why would only STREAMING video not work? 2. Update your video and audio card drivers after instal...

@The DJ I'm not aware of any home type router (that does port forwarding) that will increment the port as there is no mechanism to do this. The only thing I am aware of is UpNP devices, but VLC would need to support this automatically (perhaps as an option) in order for it to work. I have seen seve...

btw, dont know if this info is helpful or not, but I went to http://www.novell.com/test/port_tests.html and these were my results: ******************** WIN 9,0,16,0 RMTP Default: Success 4s RMTP Port 1935: Success 1.4s RMTP Port 80: Success 1.6s RMTP Port 443: Success 1.6s RMTPT (Tunneling) Default:...

Are you behind NAT?
start -> run -> cmd
ipconfig /all

(IP address starts with 192.168. or 10.)

I dont know what NAT is, but my modem IP is 192.168.0.1 and my PC is 192.168.0.2.

My computer IP on the internet (given by the service provider/phone company) I dont know.

Is it all streaming sites, or just certain ones? If the source is overloaded, nothing you can do will fix it (except streaming to a file and watching it later) Some good solid streams: CN8 Research channel Would give the URL, but I can't watch TV at work. tried CN8. Same thing. Played 3 seconds. St...

tried 0.8.6, still the same problem.

Can anyone direct me to some good forum where maybe someone can help me, since this problem is apparently not relative ONLY to videolan (my WMP also cant run streaming videos)

View -> Messages then open stream. Does it complain something after streaming stops? Have you tried 0.8.6-test2 ? this is what I get: ... main debug: using audio filter module "bandlimited_resampler" main debug: found a filter for the whole conversion access_mms warning: cannot fill buffe...

because the internet is fast and I did the tests dude...

average 54 kbytes/s in the test. (its an ADSL 600 kbits/s connection)

its not a internet speed problem.

also, it would be unrelated to the WMP problem, since WMP cant even begin to open the video.

As for DirectX, I run the diagnostics and apparently there is no problem (why would problems only appear on streaming video?)

I try to open mms urls in Videolan and it play a few seconds (no more than 5 sec) of video and then freezes. I thought at first it had paused for buffering... but no. It never starts playing again. The only way to see the video again is to press stop, and play, so Videolan in fact re-connects to the...
