Whenever I try to play this RTSP stream from a web site VLC crashes. saying it performed an illegal operation.

This is what the "error report" says:
AppName: vlc.exe AppVer: 0.8.6.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 00031b8d

Also for some reason I can't stop attemtping to connect when I try to.

I don't know what other kind of information to give.

No I haven't... I'd rather wait for an answer than attempt an unstable release which might not work at all and have no support options for it.

I tried the stream before with 0.8.6h and it crashed out when the stream started playing. DIdn't give any error message other than the "illegal operation"

I then updated to 0.8.6i and encountered the same problem.

What troubles me is that I had not experienced any issues with the h release untill this past sunday.

I won't be able to test anything regarding this stream till sunday (even then it's doubtful due to my work schedule) because it is a live program

someone suggested to me during the live chat of the program to made these settings changes: --udp-caching 1500 --ipv4-timeout 100

But considering he's on Linux, I can't make them how he suggested them nor do I know how to change them in windows should there be a way to.

0.8.6 series won't receive any real fixes soon, so that is why I suggest testing 0.9.0 - also it is easier for the devs to get more bug reports :D

Those options should work with Windows also, just start VLC from command line or create new .bat file

Code: Select all

vlc --udp-caching 1500 --ipv4-timeout 100
