vlc cannot play internet video stream
Posted: 11 Oct 2005 21:29
Hello,
I am trying to play an internet video stream but vlc complains that it does not recognize fourcc gif :
VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus
[00000249] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `gif '.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
I tried mplayer and xine as well. It looks like the stream starts with some gif image and the fourcc is set to a wrong value.
Note that the website claims that vlc is supposed to work but I presume that they talk about the windoze port. I don't have windoze so I cannot say.
The stream can be found at http://www.streamtv.dk
You have to register (for free) for a test period. If someone can try it and enlighten me, I would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Thorgal
