0.9.3 unable to play some streams from HDhomerun?

[doachs]

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. VLC 0.9.3 ( on at least both Mac and Windows ) is unable to play some video streams from an HDhomerun. It appears as though the channels that are sent as 1080i work but those sent as 720p do not, or maybe that is just a coincidence. However all of them work just fine in VLC 0.8.x

Also if I use VLC 0.8.x to transcode the video into a smaller sized mp4 stream, those play just fine in 0.9.3 as well.

Any suggestions? Is this a bug in VLC or possibly something else?

Thanks,
Dan

Messages, please? CPU usage?

No errors at all. Here is what I think it the relevant part of the messages:

Cpu usage is about 1/2 of what it would be when playing that stream.

It looks like it has something to do with the SAP announcement we have coming from another VLC system. If I connect directly to the multicast IP it works. If I use the SAP that works in 0.8, I get nothing. My guess is we have something wrong with the SAP, perhaps we have the wrong program number or something.
