VLC fails to create demuxer for some HLS streams

Postby eddsor » 08 Dec 2023 21:05

VLC fails to create demuxer for HLS streams from some of NRK's servers:

cvlc https://nrk-od2.telenorcdn.net/open/ps/ ... index.m3u8
VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b)
[019e5f48] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[01961b98] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed
[019e5f48] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[61b7dda0] adaptive demux error: Failed to create demuxer (nil) Unknown

No problem if i get the stream from another server:
cvlc https://nrk-od-world-74.akamaized.net/o ... index.m3u8

VLC v. 3.0.20 Vetinari for Windows has the same problem.
ffmpeg can save the stream, and OMXplayer can play the stream with no problems.

I am using RPI3B+ with bullseye light without X.

Yes, I can reproduce the issue while it's playing fine with other players.
You should create a new report ticket on the VLC issues tracker with your above report, the link to your sample file and the link to this thread:

If possible, because of this:
