Hi.

I'm trying to play a MP4 files over HTTP, but it doesn't work, displaying the "Resource temporarily unavailable" message in logs.

The files can be played with VLC from another computer over HTTP without any problem (the computer is in a different place, and has a different Internet connection).

Here is a part of the log with the error:

Code: Select all

Any idea why it's happening, and what can be done to solve it?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe Firewall/proxy issue?

Hi.

Maybe Firewall/proxy issue?

I can download the files without any problem. I can even see RTSP video from this computer.

It's only the HTTP playback that doesn't work.

The logs show that the connection eventually has a success, after getting the initial "unavailable" message.
Any idea why it can't continue reading the media file (even after the delay)?

Regards.

Resource temporarily unavailable comes up almost every time. (I don't know why)

Does it work if you don't try to seek?

No, it still not plays if I simply paste the link to VLC and open it.

I presume it's a firewall/proxy issue, just need to find out what exactly.

Regards.

You have some sample file online that we could test out?
