The VideoLAN Forums

I am trying to play some streams from a proprietary media server. Basically when you present an address like this: "http://192.168.42.13:8080/Files/Downloa ... 49842ae135" you are given a file to download. if you visit that site with a browser, it immediately starts to download a .mp4 file.

This works in VLC Media Player 2.1.3 as well, up to a point... if the file goes over 4mb VLC Media Player will no longer play the file.

Example: I have two URLs that pull down 2 different mp4s... one slightly less than 4mb (A) and one slightly more then 4mp (B). The larger one (B) won't play. Both URLs are pasted and run in VLC Media Player exactly the same way and the debug output is nearly the same up until the point B goes all wrong.

What's wrong here? Why is VLC MP have a hard time playing the slightly larger video?
