No problems with other players including FFplay.

However, it can play this HLS AAC stream from the same source:

Perhaps the Issue is the "double quote"-Sign from the HLS-Index-File.
Have a look at the End of the Line in the Tag #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:...

This Example will not work with VLC-Player Versions 3.0.7.1, 3.0.9. or 2.2.8.
The following URL with HLS-Content (TV-Program = "ZDF neo") will only play with the Nightly-Version 4.x.

http://zdf-hls-02.akamaized.net/hls/live/2002461/de/high/master.m3u8

I tested the VLC-Version 3.0.7.1 (64-Bit) and latest Nightly-Version 3.0.9. (64-Bit) under Windows 10.

By open the URL only the Audio-Stream is listen, but no Videostream will display.

With "Verbosity = Level 1" I get the following Message:

Code: Select all

Hope someone can repair the error with HLS-Content.

I can't test it, access is not allowed, perhaps it's geo locked ?

The Verbosity Level 2 Content for the Stream-URL with VLC 3.0.9 Nightly-Version is copied to the following Link.
"https://justpaste.it/5eemg"

I wait nearly 5 Seconds until I listen the Audio-Stream. But there was no Video-Stream to watch.

The retrieving URL http://hlscdn1.addictradio.net:80/addictrock_hls/gIaVkyFqZA6-507825-9978.mp3 play 9 Seconds with the VLC-Player.

File Extensions of the HLS-Segments are *.ts and *.mp4-Files, but no *.mp3-Files.

Perhaps the HLS Issue in the VLC-Player Version 3.0.10 (64-Bit) under Windows 10 is the same like in the Version 3.0.8 with some h.265 4k Content under Max OSX.

The image from "hapabot" 26.08.2019 "vlc 3.0.8 h265 4k distortion" has nearly the same optical Illusion.

Yeah, I am definitely having issues as well. Don't know much about the technical details, but some of the MKV videos I was previously able to play normally with VLC, now have audio issues when I try to play them with version 3.0.10 (As soon as I try to play the video, it is as though the audio tried to play but it simply stops working and the video is then left audioless). I don't have this issue with all of the videos, so it's probably as you guys say. There's an issue with some HLS streams. My VLC version was: VLC 3.0.10 For win64, and I was running it on Windows 10. I downgraded to version 3.0.8 and it's now working fine. Should this be reported as a bug?

No HLS MP3 support exists on versions prior 3.0.17.
Because this is a spec violation, it ends being AAC by default.
Same for Ogg vorbis.
