Hi !

I'm trying to listen to mms://vip8.yacast.fr/encodereurope1 with vlc (it works fine with mplayer with the -nocaching option).
I'm using latest cvs under linux debian sid and kernel 2.6.1

When running "./vlc -vvv mms://vip8.yacast.fr/encodereurope1" I have the following messages and 1 or 2 secs of audio every 20 seconds :

[00000201] access_mms input debug: NetFi[00000205] main audio output warning: computed PTS is out of range (3479895), clearing out

[00000201] access_mms input debug: NetFillBuffer: trying again (select)

If I use --mms-caching 5000, things are better but still not satisfying (5 secs of audio every 10 secs...).

Thank you for any help you could provide on this

Try with mmsh instead of mms (Thanks fenrir :)

Thanks for this tip Anil. It's makes it much easier to connect to certain streams. [VLC 0.7.0, Windows ME]

a problem was fixed with these kinds of low quality streams that will make the normal mms:// link work beter as well in the future.

OK, I'm up against the limits of my technical knowledge here, but I'm guessing that when I ask VLC to connnect to an MMS stream, it tries MMST first. If that does not work it moves on to MMS via HTTP. I'm also guessing that nobody uses MMSU any more.

So by changing to MMSH I'm skipping the whole "I can't get MMST to work" sequence. Am I on the right track?
