The VideoLAN Forums

Hi. I have a MPEG4/H.264 file, which doesn't work in VLC but work in any other player I tried. http://www.box.com/s/07mb919i09ylz70b32ym The VLC just shows black screen, but the playing slider is running and can be moved. When digging deeper, the are no decoded packets in media information statistic...

Hi.

Is statically linking all ActiveX libraries into a single module supported?

Regards.

The message appears right in pre-roll process, which seems no longer to wait for key-frame before starting playing:

27 warning[02149a8c] main input debug: Buffering 0%
28 : first frame is no keyframe
29 [00e68fd4] main decoder debug: End of video preroll

I was happy too early - a new issue has appeared:

Hi. VLC 1.1.0, when starting reading from RTSP, no longer skips regular frames until the first key-frame. This results in VLC showing green screen until the first key-frame has arrived. While VLC displays the usual message "First frame is not a key-frame", it starts playing the frames imme...

Thanks for the update, this must be it.

Hi.

I seen some have posted this issue on forums and trac.

Two questions:

1) Any idea when the fix expected, and if there will be a maintenance version (1.1.1?) released shortly?

2) Is there any patch available which can be applied to source?

Regards.

Hi.

I tried today the latest 1.1, and noticed that the jumps have gone .

Any idea if Live 555 was updated, or it was something else?

Regards.

It appears my IE8 was completely broken, and didn't want to work event with MS own ActiveX, a reinstall helped to solve it.

Hi. I'm trying to use VideoLan ActiveX in Internet Explorer 8, but getting the message: "A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused Internet Explorer to close this webpage" This happens with VideoLan 1.0.3, via IE8 on XP SP3, 32-bit. Anyone familiar with this, and how to sort it out? ...

Hi. I tracked the issue some more, and noticed that it happens only in first 30 seconds or so of the video. Once they passed, the stream is stable and works normally. Is there anything related that can be tuned? Also, can the problem be in contribs and not in VLC itself? Maybe the live555 demuxer wa...

Hi. Loops are there with TCP. I see, same as here. It is possible that you could try with different video encoder? (that way we could limit the reason) Unfortunately this encoder is part of the source firmware, so there is no way to change it. I did reproduce same micro-loops with FFMPEG/DSS as well...

Hi.

So maybe it's in vlc rtsp access filter?

What happens if you play it with RTSP over TCP enforced, do you have any error messages or loops?

Regards.

Hi. This probably because of UDP video loss, can you please try with "RTSP over TCP" enabled in RTSP demuxer settings? When I enable it, the decoding goes fine, except these loops. By the way, following your comment I tried to uncheck the "drop late frames" setting, but it still ...

I sent you a PM with a sample URL.

Thanks.

Hi. The latest versions of VLC (1.0.3 and higher) produce some strange RTSP playback artifacts - the video has small loops in playback, when the data is not coming fast enough. There is nothing in logs, even on maximal verbosity. I checked the previous version (1.0.0-pre) and the stream playback the...

Yes, it was the same, latest version (1.0.1).

The problematic PC has Symantec antivirus installed, but disabling it didn't help.

Any idea what could this be?

Thanks in advance!

Hi. I have a really strange problem, where VLC is unable to play a file from HTTP server, on a particular machine, but works great on other machines. I read the logs for both machines, and it seems as VLC unable to seek correctly in the problematic machine. Here are the log snippets: Working machine...

Hi.

Can anyone provide any advice on this?

The M4V files are simply played back 2x-3x times faster then they should, on VLC - other player do it fine.

Any idea?

Thanks for the update - hope it would be fixed.

By the way, I found another issue with mpeg-4 raw streams, it will be great if you give it a look here:

Hi. I have an issue with VideoLan 1.0 RC1, playing M4V (raw MPEG-4) files faster then it should. The video was encoded with FFMPEG with the following command line: ffmpeg -i sample.mp4 -f m4v test.m4v When I play it in ffplay, the video is displayed normally, with correct speed. But when I play it i...

Hi. I have an issue with VideoLan 1.0 RC1 not playing H.264 video in M4V format (RAW video). The video was encoded with FFMPEG with the following command line: ffmpeg -i sample.mp4 -f m4v -vcodec libx264 h264.m4v and ffmpeg -i sample.mp4 -f h.264 -vcodec libx264 h264.m4v The video IS playable by ffp...

No, it still not plays if I simply paste the link to VLC and open it.

I presume it's a firewall/proxy issue, just need to find out what exactly.

Regards.

Hi. Maybe Firewall/proxy issue? I can download the files without any problem. I can even see RTSP video from this computer. It's only the HTTP playback that doesn't work. The logs show that the connection eventually has a success, after getting the initial "unavailable" message. Any idea w...

Hi. I'm trying to play a MP4 files over HTTP, but it doesn't work, displaying the "Resource temporarily unavailable" message in logs. The files can be played with VLC from another computer over HTTP without any problem (the computer is in a different place, and has a different Internet con...
