@lsdev Does the stream play well on a PC? What is the source? Did you build VLC according this guide for Raspbian Stretch: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=195221 Yes I followed that exact build guide. Just tested it on PC with VLC and UDP doesn't work well there either. ...

@Jean-Baptiste Kempf MMAL does not work. It actually never did, not on 2.x nor on 3.x versions. I disagree. It should have been fixed for 3.x Sorry, should have is not good enough. I built every version of 3.x with and/or without MMAl and/or OMXIL. Me and nobody I know over at the RPi forum has eve...

@Jean-Baptiste Kempf MMAL does not work. It actually never did, not on 2.x nor on 3.x versions. OMXIL does work up to 2.2.8 and not on any of the 3.x versions. @lsdev Does the stream play well on a PC? What is the source?

I never tried with older versions - I started with 2.2.8. For us, the biggest issue with OMX for our project is it's long starting time which in addition varies a lot. Joining a stream (UDP or RTP), it can take anything from 3s to 10s until the playback starts. In addition, the parameters to influen...

You should post a log (Ctrl+M before starting playback, select level 2) ... don't forget to set it back to 0 after the log is generated.

Nope - not so far. VLC 3 up to 3.0.3 is not working at all.
We plan to ditch VLC and try to move on with OMX player (which has other issues, unfortunately).

Same with 3.0.3-1 - still no joy for all Raspberry users

Hi We are using 2.2.8 on RPi3 with Raspbian Stretch for playing IPTV streams from mixed sources, mostly RTP and some UDP. If I have set the option to drop late frames , synchronization between audio and video is fine, however, the video is extremely choppy. If I have set the option to NOT drop late ...

DirectShow is a Windows-only 'thing'.
What are the options you can select in Capture Mode?

VLC 3.0.2 still does not work as expected.
It works for playing a local video with OMX-IL but not for receiving streams. MMAL does not work at all.

The vout seems not to be the issue. I tested with a USB cam as source and OMX-IL did perfectly output the video whereas MMAL does not work at all. The issue seems to be the pipe, something around the chroma conversion from/to I420. Who actually added the MMAL-based vout plugin for Raspberry Pi ? Did...

Same with 3.0.2 - still no joy for all Raspberry users

Current version (3.x) unfortunately still does not work on RPi - 2.2.8 is the latest I found to be working.
I opened another thread some time ago regarding VLC3 on RPI and also linked an old bug ... so far no help

Hi

I'm getting quite a lot of VLC crashes with Running on Raspbian Stretch on RPi 3

Any ideas

Anyone a hint for me

Hi We use 2.2.8 on RPi 3 to show udp and rtp IPTV usually without issues. We now have udp streams that are locally generated from jpg stills (slideshows) and audio, encoded as H.264 video. These streams can be perfectly received and played on a PC - no errors even on level 2. However, on a RPi there...

Linked to this bug in trac: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/18594#no3

Sorry to be rather annoying
I'd like to maybe fix this myself and therefore it would be nice if someone has a hint where to start of based on the errors posted above.

No one any hint where the issue could be or at least where to dig deeper

An additional note: With the intention to have about the same as in working 2.2.8 (omxil, no mmal), I built with the following configuration: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-omxil --enable-omxil-vout --enable-rpi-omxil --disable-mmal --enable-gles2 --disable-wayland --disable-libva Surprisingly e...

I tried that too - to no avail. I tried all combinations with only omxil, with omxil and mmal and now with only mmal. The error now looks different, but still there is no image. Configuration used for latest build to try: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gles2 --disable-wayland --disable-libva Any...

There already is a bug reported.

VLC 3.0.0 as well as 3.0.1 does not yet work on RaspberryPi.
I just opened a thread to get help diagnosing the issue: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=142905

I tried with 3.0.0 and just tried with 3.0.1 also today. No matter what is selected as vout, there is no way to play as it was with 2.2.8. Since I seem not to be able to attach a file here, I add the dbg output below. It would be great if someone from the team could quickly look at it and share some...
