Hi,
I will try to report this problem in a more detailed way:
Dreambox is a satellite decoder based on linux
Dreambox can hold different software images, here I'm referring to the Da Vinci 5 image
This image has a web interface that allows you to control the decoder and also send video streams to vlc
To send streams you click on a link and the browser writes down a temporary file named, in my particular case
H:\DOCUME~1\alessiof\IMPOST~1\Temp\video-4.pls
The pls file is handled by vlc, with 0.8.2 we get nothing, with other versions all works ok.
here is the content of the pls file, read with notepad
http://10.0.0.30:31339/0,0068,0204,028e,0204
So it seems that in some way pls parsing/redirecting in VLC got broken, or disabled.
Hope it can be fixed soon, if you like more info about this problem just ask.
Regards
