Your file requires seeking constantly, because the AVI file format was meant for hard drive storage.

Seeking is a very slow operation with the FTP protocol. This creates latencies and the VLC input buffers starves. Then video playback cannot work.

You should either use a streaming-friendly file format like MPEG-TS, or you should download the file locally first (then seeking will be a non-issue).

thank you for a good answer, will check other formats.
