Sounds like a bandwidth issue MKVs are usually for high def videos and if you are trying to stream this over the internet, you are probably going to have some problems. Have you tried transcoding the MKV? If so what codecs and bit rates are you using? Also are you what transmission protocol are you ...

Did you try doing what it said

LibVLC has detected an unusable buggy GNU/libc version.
Please update to version 2.8 or newer.

Where to begin 1. Are you using a router if so you are not streaming to the right interface IE if you have a router and your LAN IP is 192.168.x.x then you want to tell VLC to HTTP stream to that interfact Example 192.168.10.2:1234 then open a port on your firewall (example 1234) then give your frie...

so how would i do that UDP to a 224.0.0.XX address and do i need special switches that are designed for multicasting?

Or will the run of the mill router beable to do this

on windows media is mms:// not mmsh://

I miss spoke, yes the HTTP handshakes and then a connection is established but you are still serving data thats what i ment.

why are you using HTTP access, why not stick with UDP, if you need help on multicasting let me know, HTTP is a very bad protocol for for Audio and Video due to the overhead associated with it

what exactly are you doing? you want to watch a powerpoint presentation over VLC?

Unfortuantly No, the over head involved with HTTP is due to the fact it is a TCP protocol, TCP must have certain packet sizes and the client will reask the server for any data it missed, which is why you re seeing it play for 2 seconds and stopping. Secondly, no matter what protocol you use you will...

Ok so i did some research and I found that wikipedia had an excellent article on Multicasting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Multicast what i ended up doing was having all of my Clients VPN in to my network and then broadcasted on my server to UDP address 255.255.255.255 this enables multiple peopl...

My current setup is as follows: My company uses VLC for Video Conferencing at the moment we are using the UDP protocol and we are at two locations. We have just opened a new office and now we want multistream video conferencing. We are on M$ windowsXP at all locations. What I would like to do is a U...

Alright for a simple UDP do this... I am not sure what OS you are on so i am just going to give a generic explanation. Alright lets assume you are within a LAN: Server IP for example:10.0.0.2 Client: 10.0.0.3 On the Server Find the File/Output Source, on stream out select UDP protocol, enter the cli...

VLC's Windows CE version was never finished and has been abandoned. It is maintained on the website in the hope that someone will pick it up again. Also keep in mind that there is no support for 3gp. I don't know what Verizon is claiming in up and down speed on EDGE, but this does rather sound like...

Since there is no Windows CE or Smartphone Forum i will try it here: I am using VLC on a SuSE Linux Laptop and using the http protocol to stream out with asf encapsulation and DIV3 codec at 16kbps ( i know sixteen KB sounds small but stay with me. Using the http, i am streaming to a Windows Smartpho...

What protcol are you streaming out with Http: or UDP or mms. UDP can eliminate buffer fillers because it is a burst protocol. Http has to wait to fill then send so it sounds like you are using http to stream out. If you need help on UDP let me know.

Is it possible to stream to Pocket PC? Useing VLC and on Pocket PC useing Windows Media Player to play it? How to do it exacly? Yes it is, what you need is a server to get media from and VLC CE/PocketPC on your hand held device. Once you have VLC on your mobile device there are a few way you can go...

What access method are you using to stream with HTTP? UDP? VOD?

what are your settings when you are broadcasting are you using VLC to send the steam, is your NAT router configured properly so that you can access the port db is broadcasting on paint me a picture.

the http insterface incorporates TCP. Meaning that all data must be sent and recieved i order for it to be a successful connection. If TCP looses data it will request it again and again. and if the separation between the stream and the incoming data is to far apart then it will drop the stream and t...

need more info on this what exactly are you doing, are you streaming video and audio and by what means. this error report is to breif describe what you are trying to do

Bandwidth is a major issue. It sounds like the bitrate/codec you are using maybe Too High for your upload speed. Questions: Are you attempting to stream over the net or on a LAN? Can you use UDP as opposed to HTTP? What Bitrate/Encapsulation/Codecs are you using? If you are trying to do Audio & ...

Are you sure your card supports mp2v. I don't know why you would want to use that codec? But thats all I can gather from it. Any reason as to why you are using Http as opposed to UDP. Try UDP at MP2V perhaps your bitrate is to high? Try UDP and see if it works...according to the documentation Mp2v s...

I may be wrong but i think VLC can play ISOs directly but if not mount the ISO( if you do not know what this is tell me) access the mounted drvie from the Open Disc menu ( File> open disc) and select the drive letter. Then click stream output. Then hit file and select the Filename. Play the DvD and ...

Yes this is Possible, If you intend to watch TV on it i recommed a Coxial USB 2.0 Tuner Card but this would work as well, you don't even have to use the Direct Show, you can install the driver and run it with the proper driver. If you need help setting it up just reply.

More Info.... What Codecs and methods are you using to stream your files. Encapsulations? Codecs? Bit Rates? HTTP/VOD/UDP?
