Hi all!

I set up an http server providing a video file (mp4) and now I am trying to stream it using vlc from the command line.

vlc "http://localhost:port/videostream"

This works perfectly with version 2.1.5. However, since I updated to 2.2.1, the display starts off entirely green. The beginning of the movie is shown, but all in shades of green. It switches to correct display only after a second or so, probably after the next keyframe.

Do you have an idea? Thank you!

The problem occurs in both 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 versions, both 32 and 64 bit.
The same video displays correctly when playing it directly from the file, rather than streaming it.

yeap i have same problem. start with green artifacts frames. on 2.1.5 there was no problem. so what is solution?

Hallo there,

We modified the MP4 demuxer for 2.2, maybe in the bad way. Could you try a 3.0 nightly build to see if the issue persists?

Regards Poldy
