Interesting choise on .m3u8 files

Postby colorhat » 22 Oct 2012 12:14

Hi there,

I have a .m3u8 file with some HLS streams. One of them is an audio stream, the rest is VIDEO (with audio).
But once I starting playing this .m3u8 - VLC ist just palying the "last line". The result is that only the "AUDIO" stream is playing.
Here is an example:


#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=708000,RESOLUTION=640x360,CODECS="avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.5"
http://...
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1403000,RESOLUTION=960x540,CODECS="avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.5"
http://...
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=2372000,RESOLUTION=1280x720
http://...
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=77000,CODECS="mp4a.40.5"
http://...

I wish I could just watch the 1280x720 resolution.

--> Is there a settings to define this?

I use 2.0.4 (Intel 64bit on mac)
THX a lot for helping me along :)

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

thanks for your reply!
The possibility that you have right is absolutely there :) (IIRC: If I Remember Correctly)

But, is there not a method to influence this in any cases?
Maybe try another forum?


Thanks again for your time to read my post :)

No, the only method, is to have faster internet connexion.

ohh, late reply. But I think the reason must be somewhere else. I have a fast connection (over 10 Mb).
