The VideoLAN Forums

I tried searching the forums this.
I am trying to play [url]mms://gundam100.liquidviewer.net/WABC[/url] but it sounds choppy on VLC. When that file is played with Windows Media Player browser plugin it plays fine. You can get it from here http://wabcradio.com/listenlive.asp

(P.S. I know very little about streaming audio.)

VLC 0.8.1
WinXp Pro sp2
pentium III 256meg Ram

Anyone else experience/confirm this?

I have no problems with 0.8.1

Well sometimes a time sync, but not more than once everty half minute or so.

Thats about how often I hear it. Is there antyhing that can be done for this?

Not really.

Thanks for your help, I guess I'll just have to wait for a newer release....

Keep up the good work.

And u think that's acceptable?
Luckely it doesn't happen that often here, but often enough

Anyway it happends in both vlc win 0.8.1 and linux 0.8.1 so it isn't OS related.

plz fix this.
If vlc is primary a streamclient, it doesn't do it's job very well

Update:

I'm using 0.8.2-test1 beta and while the problem is still there, but it seems (to my unscientific ears) to occur less often.

========================================

Keep up the good work, and with any luck 0.8.2 final won't have this problem at all

I am having the same Choppy sound problem.
Everything ran fine untill I added a second user log in to my windows XP box.
Now AVI files have a choppy sound.
I hope this can help the developers to locate the problem.
Thanks for a great program I hope you can fix it.

Can someone please tell me this will be resolved by 8.2 final. I hate using Windows Media Player as its a resource hog.

Can someone please tell me if this ticket called "Ticket #5 Clock synchro redesign" would solve my problem?

It says

When a buffer underrun occurs, clock should stop
it eases recovering
we don't loose any part of the clip
Caching system should be improved
prebuffering threshold should change depending on caching value
when we pause, we should not keep playing until buffer are empty, but stop right away

maybe ... but its a big ticket (its been lasting for 1 or 2 years) and noone has a good idea about how to solve it
