Help to Decipher Log File

[bdbenware]

I am having an issue with VLC freezing while I am playing a live stream I am broadcasting at my school. The back end of all of this is not in my knowledge skill set. I need help understanding what the log file is telling me. Thanks for any help.

In a nutshell, the gpu on your system is too slow to process the data fast enough which results in dropping frames.

You might try following instructions in this tutorial to see if you're doing something wrong.

It's not decoded by the GPU. And it doesn't extra copies because of "plane 0 not aligned: disabling direct rendering" so it's extra slow. I assume that's on a very old machine. Otherwise MPEG-2 in the CPU is mostly fine.

Also the source doesn't set the MPEG profile so hardware decoding can't be used. Can you share a bit of the file so we can check we're not reading it wrong ?
