VLC not holding network stream

[jay.peloquin]

Apple TV 4 updated to tvOS 11.0, VLC 1.0.7. VLC app quits when network streaming. Network stream is udp://@xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:50000. These network streams work in previous version of tvOS 10.2.2. Streams are being sent from Blonder Tongue HDE-CSV-QAM HD ENCODER. If more information is needed for the output settings of the blonder tongue, I can post those.

Thank You

This problem has been reported a number of times (with a few different variations) under this topic but there have been no responses. If there is anyone out there who can offer any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. We, too, have this problem using VLC 1.0.7 under tvOS 11.0. Note that this worked generally OK under tvOS 10.x with only some glitches, but with tvOS 11.0, VLC is unusable.

Source: Osprey Talon G1H Encoder set to generate two H.264 UDP multi-cast streams: One at 15 Mbps 1080p/30 and the other at 1.5 Mbps 320p/15.
Working Receivers: A number of MacOS devices (iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac mini) all running VLC 2.2.6 work fine on either stream. Video portions occasionally freeze but restart up on their own. Audio never freezes.
Non-functioning Receiver: Apple TV 4th Generation running VLC 1.0.7 under tvOS 11 will freeze both video and audio streams and will not restart on their own. VLC sometimes crashes. The high-rate stream will freeze after 30 seconds, while the low-rate stream freezes after 2 minutes --- this is consistent under tvOS 11 even after doing a reset to the Apple TV. Under tvOS 10, the streams would only occasionally freeze --- maybe after 45-60 minutes.
