DASH playback VLC vs libVLC

Hello,

I write an IPTV player using libVLC (VLC 3) for playing the video. This works fine. Now the IPTV provider supports DASH and I try to play the stream through libVLC. Playing this stream with VLC directly works well. Doing so using libVLC the video stops after about 1 second. Status goes into STOP.

Do you use some special settings in VLC when playing DASH video?

I use libVLC in combination with Qt (C++). The problem happens on Windows, Linux, Mac.

Is there a way (maybe some buffering) I can fix this issue? Maybe you have some hints here? In case you need more information I'll try to provide them.

Thanks for your great work and your support!

Best regards,
Jörg

I found the problem. I gave mrl option :run-time=3600 to the media item. With this option player stopped about one second after it has started the stream. When reading the help this options value should represent seconds. Without this option all is well.
