Hi!
Sorry if my problem was discussed elsewhere, but I have failed to find similar topics on this forum.
Recently I found that VLC player generates a huge traffic when watching video located on a remote server (URL addresses of the form http://domain.name/video.avi were used to set up the streams). For example, for the original file of the approx. size 700Mb the incoming traffic was of the order of 24Gb! The effect was found in the VLC app for Android, as well as in the VLC for Windows. Different URL's were used for the test, as well as different computers in different networks.
Meanwhile, videos from YouTube are streamed as expected, without any extra huge traffic.
Is it normal, or just a bug?
