I'm developing an android app that listens to an UDP stream (using RTSP). When i started this app, about 6 months ago, the playback was almost perfect: it only had a green bar at the bottom. I checked that that issue was already fixed in newest versions of libvlc.
However, the latest versions have a different issue: sometimes the libvlc crashes in the initial buffering of the stream, with the following error:

Any ideas why this is happening? The RTSP server is VLC 2.0.8, running on ubuntu, and streaming an h264 video
Cheers
