VLC does not recognize certain AppleHLS streams

[Charliemie]

Please try to play the following url

Code: Select all

https://radio-trtfm.live.trt.com.tr/master.m3u8

Address is valid and it plays in other players, but when I open it with VLC, it does not recognize audio data:
You will get something like below. It seems like it is playing but it just skips all the data it downloads.

What can be the reason for this? It seems like a bug?

Thank you,
Charlie

Yes, confirmed, and it's playing fine with other players including FFplay.

You should create a new ticket on the VLC Trac with the link to your stream and to this thread.

This is what happens when people can't configure their server

The Radio-Stream "https://radio-trtfm.live.trt.com.tr/master.m3u8" is also playing fine in my Computer with VLC-Player Version 3.0.7.1 (64-Bit) and 2.2.8 (32-Bit) under Windows 10 Operating System.

Now I tried it with 3.0.7.1 and yes it works. Thank you for sharing this. It seems like it stopped working with these types of streams after 3.0.7.1. (I tried it on 3.0.8 and 4.x and it is not working on those)
