The VideoLAN Forums

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

It starts with the lowest, IIRC

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).

Or modify VLC.
