Not playing Video-Streams

Postby Snail » 04 Jul 2012 11:27

VLC 2.0.2 refuses to play Video-Streams.

I am using VLC on a Win7x64 Notebook. It makes no difference if i change to the experimental VLC x64 version or the last 32bit Version. I tested old VLC Versions, that didnt help.

SMPlayer and WMP play the Videostreams without problems.
Here is the log:

When I download the asx-file and extract the URL manually it works.
Could you please help me with this?

I can't reproduce the issue, it's playing fine with VLC 2.0.2 for me, even though I have to wait for about 20 seconds because it's trying to connect to port 1755 first (which fails) and then port 80 (which works).

When i download the .asx file with a webbrowser and open this file with VLC it works fine. It seems to me that VLC just can´t "download an open" the .asx file.
