The VideoLAN Forums

Evening,
Trying to stream a .ts file from an Openelec Kodi server, to VLC (anything?) running on Opensuse Leap42.1 x64. Can open and stream directly using MXPlayer on Android. Wondering why I can't stream to VLC?
Thanks.

Some of the log output...

At that point, you haven't started playing.

But it won't?

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Check the log for details.

Are you able to mount the remote filesystem in openSUSE
(Examples how to do this you can find e.g. on http://www.linuxnix.com/8-ways-to-mount ... -in-linux/ )

If this works you should be able to access to your remote video like it is local.

Thanks Remi. You mean the log in my second post? Or is there another?
Winfrid: Yep, certainly can mount, and often do when copying files across to save. But it doesn't matter what I try to play it with, nothing seems to want to stream it... As I said, if I open it in MXPlayer on my Android phone/tablet, buffers for a second or two, then plays perfectly.
Thanks.

No! The log from when you start playing, obviously.

OK. Finally figured out how to get this (realize it's not rocket science, but every program is different, particularly VLC)

smb error: open failed for '192.168.0.60/Videos/Big_Ted's_Excellent_Adventure/2016-07-10.20.07.2-0.rec/00001.ts' (Permission denied)
core error: open of `smb://192.168.0.60/Videos/Big_Ted's_Excellent_Adventure/2016-07-10.20.07.2-0.rec/00001.ts' failed

Apparently it looks like a permissions thing, which I find a bit wierd, as I can certainly connect to it using SMB (do often, and that's where I am trying to play it from...), and I can easily copy files from there, and other video progs will start downloading to play the file, but not VLC - just thows up

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://192.168.0.60/Videos/Big_Ted's_Excellent_Adventure/2016-07-10.20.07.2-0.rec/00001.ts'. Check the log for details.

And the message above...
