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
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
