DASH stream not playing, no suitable demux module

[mark7]

I am trying to play an online live stream (a DASH stream) using VLC, and I get the following error: VLC can't recognize the input's format. Stream plays fine in Chrome. Here's the complete output from the VLC console:

I would appreciate any help with trying to get this stream to play in VLC. Thanks.

Try VLC 3.0 from nightly builds.

Try VLC 3.0 from nightly builds.

OK, tried it, and now it does "open" the stream, however there is no audio or video (just a black screen). Here is the link to the console output (I let the stream "play" for a few seconds and then stopped it myself).

Are you sure it's not encrypted?

[mark7]

I'm not sure I know what exactly you mean. Well, it's an HTTPS stream, so, in that sense, it's encrypted. But, VLC should be able to decrypt it (it gets the key during the TLS handshake, no?). And again, Chrome plays it fine, so I believe VLC should be able to play it fine also. Or is there a reason why it shouldn't?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

This file is DASH with mp4 with tenc, aka DRM named Common Encryption. Aka, you cannot decode that without the DRM.
