playing back dash files/streams

[geostein8888]

Hello,
while I'm not coming forward with the libvlc and dash problem I have, I started now testing the dash playback of the nightly build VLC 3.0.0. Looks like this version against all the info I found in the net is not able to play back any dash stream I tried.

here some examples:
http://www-itec.aau.at/~cmueller/libdas ... ny_480.mpd
http://www-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ftp/datas ... _05_09.mpd
http://www-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ftp/datas ... _05_09.mpd
http://www-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ftp/datas ... _05_09.mpd
http://irtdashreference-i.akamaihd.net/ ... estARD.mpd

I also tried some live streams from Facebook

so is there a general problem with the dash implementation in VLC or do I something wrong here

with regards
Georg

All of those play perfectly fror me, with the last build, except the last one, ARD, which has an aspect ratio issue.

that's strange, I tried the nightly builds of the Windows version 2.2.5 and 3.0 (here 32 and 64 bit) what build did you use

ps. thanks for the reply

Works fine for me with latest v3.0.0 nightly build for Windows.

did you changed anything on the default configuration?

Nothing special, I'm just using DXVA 2.0.

Looks like you just can't connect to the site.

I could play fine the urls with the libdash demo app (qtsampleplayer).
after a reboot I'm not getting any longer errors, now the video slider moves and it shows me the video settings under the Codec info menu point, but the screen is black and there is also no sound
