I can successfully stream dvds from pc (os Win XP Home) with Vlc Media player 0.7.2 to Dreambox DM5620 with plugin Vlc2.2. But one dvd does not work, it streams for a few seconds then stops streaming although keeps running in the Vlc Media player. I attach the log from a 'working' dvd below followed by the log from the 'not-working' dvd. If the experts can see any clue from these, I will be interested to know. The two logs are identical to a point where I have put a line. The 'not-working' log only shown from that point. Regards, pcd.

For some reason the http connection is closed: main debug: connection closed(192.168.0.24)

There is no indication whatsoever that VLC decides to do so, so i assume the client breaks of the connection for some reason. As far as i can tell from the debug the stream is still working. (just no clients connected anymore)

Many thanks for your time. The problem therefore seems to be in the vlc plugin in the dreambox. Regards.
