Hi,

Using VLC 1.17 (luggage) I can open a multicast mpeg4 part 2 stream, using an SDP of the form:

v=0
m=video <multicast_port> RTP/AVP 96
c=IN <multicast address>
a=rtpmap:96 MP4V-ES/90000
a=source-filter: incl IN IP4 <multicast address> <unicast address>

This plays in 1.17 fine, with the debug output below:

Using the same SDP in the latest VLC (2.08) still causes the stream to be joined, as can be verified from looking at wireshark traces which show the incoming traffic, but no video is streamed.

With the default settings, with ffmpeg threads set to 0, debug output shows:

Which continues forever, without video being shown

Forcing threads to 1 gives a different output, but still no video:

Art which point nothing more happens in the logs

Any ideas, either of how to remedy, or of information I could provide here which might make a future fix more likely?

What happens if you force threads 1 ?

Posted: **28 Aug 2013 12:56**

Hi - forcing threads to 1 is one of the examples above - so no errors are thrown, but it gets as far as:

main debug: Buffering 96%
main debug: Buffering 100%
main debug: Stream buffering done (1040 ms in 1005 ms)

And then nothing more - no errors, but no video either.

However, in both cases (threads=0 or 1) wireshark shows the UDP multicast video is arriving at the machine.

By also checking "hardware decoding", I can sometimes get the video to start. Any subsequent requests then fail however, with "main debug: no fetch required for (null) (art currently (null))" error when any other SDP files are loaded - and no indication the SDP parsing has even started.

Also, in the windows version, once an SDP file has been opened, then clicking "stop" does not revert the GUI - the "play" button remains a "pause" button - so something somehwere has got stuck. The logs show "main debug: dying input" - but nothing more

Interestingly, it works fine with the same SDP in linux /if/ ffmpeg threads are set to 1

Is there any information I could provide that would help remedy this? Happy to do anything I can, but fixing it myself is, unfortunately, beyond me
