Cannot play video from LAN (unable to open MRL)

Postby iskid » 12 Apr 2014 13:24

Hi!
I'm trying to view videos from a shared folder on other computer connectedo in my LAN. I can see them with any apps (like Windows Media Player) but if I try to open them with VLC I got this error: "Unable to open MRL".

VLC is the last 64 bit version for Windows 8.1, and my firewall is stopped..

Here is my message (verbose 2):

main debug: processing request item: Junior (1994).avi, node: Scaletta, skip: 0
main debug: resyncing on Junior (1994).avi

I see: "filesystem error: failed to read (Invalid Argument)..

Anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks
