Vlc 2.0.2 stream problems w Twit Bitgravity

Postby pcguy » 09 Jul 2012 00:56

I have been using VLC to play two bitgravity streams for Twit.tv. I have the stream URL appended to VLC URL:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high'. Check the log for details.

Since installing 2.0.2 I am getting the following error yet the stream eventually plays. Shutting down Windows Firewall does nothing.

Check the log for details.
So, did you check the logs?
To help you, we need messages, to completely understand what your problems is.
To fix this, please be sure before you start the playback to:
  1. Open: Tools -> Messages.
  2. Set Verbosity to 2
  3. Start playback to reproduce your issue
  4. Save text in a file or copy into clipboard
  5. Then paste the full resulting log here between [​code]and[​/code] (or use Pastebin.com if it's too long)
Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.

Win7 x64 4GB RAM .

I can not post the contents of the log file here w verbosity set to 2 as I am stopped due to the logfile having more than 4 urls in it. Here is the log file http://pastebin.com/CLXmgWHn

I have the similar problem, VLC 2.0.2 is not able to sent a proper http request.
I did packet capturing for version 2.0.2 and 1.1.11
when old version is sending request to the server it does first part of URL in one packet like GET /udp/10.12.35.44:1234 HTTP/1.1 Host:192.168.1.1:4567 and the second packet contains User agent, range and this is it.

but 2.0.2 by some reason does it in three packets 1st packets contains 4 bytes of data with GET + space, 2nd packets contains the rest part but if you will compare you will see that it has couple new headers like connection: close and libvlc2.0.2. Maybe the problem is in the "Connection: close" ?

So something was changed for sure and HTTP streaming doesn`t work any more, I`m dealing with requests like:
http://192.168.1.1:4567/udp/10.12.35.44:1234

I went back to 2.0.1 and that fixed the the problem with that bitgravity stream throwing error messages.

It's a bug in the some crappy HTTP servers. VLC is allowed to split the HTTP request in multiple chunks, and it's always done so albeit in different ways.

In fact, most HTTP servers and proxies have no problems with VLC 2.0.2.
