can't display udp streams on fc4
Posted: 01 Dec 2005 15:04
Hi,
vlc works great for me with local files of all types. Never a problem.
However, some guys in our office setup some kind of box receiving sattelite channels and all the windows people here installed vlc, ran it, set it to receive udp://@239.0.0.239 and they were all watching.
No problem I think. I apt-get most of the required packages for vlc (grabbing the libebml package from another source). It's runs fine with local video files, but I am not getting a display when trying the network stream.
Launching vlc with -vvv option doesn't give me any clues as to what is wrong. The last lines of -vvv when trying to stream is:
It then just doesn't do anything more. The GUI comes up, but just sits there. There are no errors or any other indication something is wrong.
Should I attempt to compile the packages and libraries by hand? If anyone can offer any direction at all, it would be very helpful.
Thanks
