How to play ipv6 stream url in vlc 3.x

Postby iptver » 17 Aug 2022 05:47

I use VLC 3.x in win10 x64 , media->open network stream menu, and input url like http://[2409:8c28:xx:xx:xx]/yy.../1.m3u8, only to receive error and nothing will show, but I can be sure this url is valid, since I can input this in my browser and return some url like http://..../1.ts and I can use download tool to download this ts file and play it successfully in VLC, so what's the problem? maybe I should do some configuration to let vlc 3.x support ipv6 url play?

Great Thanks for help

Thanks for help, what you want me to read is

Select File / Open Network Stream. To receive an UDP/RTP unicast stream sent to your system, you should select the Force IPv6 option (and possibly adjust the destination UDP port) ??

Is that right ? if so, you mean I should select the Force IPv6 option(and possibly adjust the destination UDP port), but how?

You can only do it over a wired connection. Wi-Fi doesn't work: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/25104

Thanks , I use wired connection, not wifi, so what you said in second floor(select the Force IPv6 option), it can not solve the problem?

This is a youtube ipv6 stream which can be played in vlc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd10hjClCXo

However, I don't know where the settings are located to force ipv6 in the current version. That said it may not be necessary to do that considering the fact that the above link works out of the box.

Thanks anyway, Does somebody else meet the same problem, from my point of view, it seems vlc can not recognize address like [xx::xx...]?

VLC can parse bracketed IPv6 literals just fine here. Check your logs.

Today I occasionally found if I use vlc http://xxx command line to open this url , vlc performs normally, but if I use menu to open the same url, it fails with no error prompt , just show nothing in screen, so it's a bug for GUI?
