The VideoLAN Forums

Dear All,

I am using network IP camera to stream real time video data to VLC player. VLC is playing Audio&video in network capture mode via RTP (RTSP). I compiled the linux based VLC player from open source version 1.1.9. My video data specification is as follows -
Video Codec used: H.264
Frames per second: 15fps
MAX slices: 34
But after some time vlc player stops playing the video data. On debug I can see following message -
:
Too many slices, increase MAX_SLICES and recompile
Too many slices, increase MAX_SLICES and recompile
Too many slices, increase MAX_SLICES and recompile
:
My queries are -
1. Even though I have source code I was not able to trace the source that prints debug message "Too many slices, increase MAX_SLICES and recompile". Can you please let me know where exactly I can locate this source?
2. I changed the MAX_SLICES to 120 from 32 in modules/codec/zvbi.c. But I still face the same problem. Is this right place to change the H.264 decoder MAX_SLICE value.

Thanks in advance
Best regards
