Multicast and Time Shifting Problem

[Jarmen]

Hi Guys,

We have a system like below:


*********************************************

First Problem (Audio Sync):
1-VLC Server (Debian) getting the stream over HTTP from DVB-S Receivers.
2-VLC Server send stream as multicast (to 224.1.1.1 IP)

It's working but audio is coming before video about 1-2 sec on Tablet.
On the Laptop, everything is OK including Audio Sync.
Everything is same between Tablet and Laptop but VLC Player.

I guess there is a bug in VLC for Android.
Could you inform me about this issue ?

*********************************************

Second Problem (Time Shifting):
We have an apache server and there are some video files (avi) in server

(Path=http://192.168.x.x/movies/movie.avi)

On the Laptop;
Everything is OK.
VLC Player for Windows/Linux can not get length of the video but when we drag
the ProgressBar, it is working.

*****

On the Tablet (Tested on Compiled 0.0.2 and Compiled 0.0.8 );
When the movie start, getLength() method return 0 so Length TextView and
SeekBar.setMax have 0 and we can not shift the time with SeekBar.
I press the forward or backward buttons, these are working partially.

When we set the Length manually, it is working.

VLC should get length of the video.

1) Can you try all the different audio outputs in Preferences and see if it helps you?

2) I think this depends on the file format being served, and is dependent on the main VLC.

Hi Again,

1) I tested all of audio outputs in Preferences but still I have problem, There is some out of sync.

2) I think this is not depends on the file format, this is relevant with HTTP, I tested with another Media Player, it could get the length so I could shift.
