The VideoLAN Forums

I'm using libVLC to stream from a custom HTTP server that accepts ranged requests.

When opening the stream libVLC requests a bunch of pieces related to "chapters titles".

Is there a way to prevent that and ensuring that it requests buffers continuously ?

Use a file format that does not require seeking to play.

I could do that, but I want to keep seeking functional.

As far as I can tell the only way is to return an empty buffer when VLC requests something out of range.

Just waking up this topic to ask another question,

Is there an option for VLC to avoid parsing chapter titles ?

I'm not sure that even makes sense.
