The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,

I tried to open the VLC Player in HTTP-Mode so I can watch the Movie File on my TV with a Dreambox. The Web GUI starts but if I choose a video file and click play it crashes with various messages like:

Any Idea to solve this?

no idea?
operating system is SLES 10. compiled it manually (ffmpeg/wxwidget/vlc) with different options, no success, every time it crashes after trying to play it

Give us the output of vlc -vvv.

No !
Vlc -vvv -Ihttp and then launch the file that make it crash.

sorry...

i configured the http server as default for running vlc, so i expect i dont need to run vlc -Ihttp right?

i dont need a specific file, it crashes by all files i try to open

dont know where to look at so i post the complete output from beginning:
