The VideoLAN Forums

Right now on my local machine I can stream a video with VLC using RTSP and active h264 transcoding, and then use another instance of vlc to play the video.

But if I stream from a server on the internet, and try to open the stream on my machine, vlc seems to open the connection just fine and then crashes after about 5 seconds.

Any ideas what I can do to resolve this?

Thanks!

If gdb is familiar tool for you, you can check out where VLC crashes. Otherwise only options I can suggest is that you try different video encoder and/or streaming protocol to see if the issue has something to do with those.

What is your vlc version ? ( The one crashing )
