VLC and Lion OS problem

[santix]

Hello,

When I try to load a network multicast video file: udp://@234.5.2.101:20000 it crash and it doesn't load the video.
I attach the register file.

I use Vlc 1.1.11 and mac lion os, iMAC 3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB Memory.

Please, answer me as soon as possible if there is a compatibility problem with lion OS.

Thanks in advance,

Santiago.

Works for me on the following setup:
VLC 1 streams a mpeg4 file using udp-multicast with SAP announcement on 10.5.
VLC 2 receives the announcement and the stream correctly on Lion.

No crash, no anything.

Reset VLC'S preferences by deleting a folder called "org.videolan.vlc" and a file named "org.videolan.vlc.plist" in ~/Library/Preferences. Note that the Library folder in your user folder is hidden by default. You can still access it through the "Go" menu when pressing the alt key.

I did it but still doesn't work.

I've tried to post the register fail but the forum always says "the maximum number of URLs allowed is 4". It seems that it thinks com.apple.HIToolbox.begin... is an URL so you can see the register on this URL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35781942/TXT.rtf
I hope this helps you to solve the problem of many users...

Regards,

Santiago.

The warnings beginning with "com.apple.HIToolbox" can be safely ignored. This is just the GUI, which reports triggered actions (menu opened/closed, button pressed, etc.).

The interesting part is here

Code: Select all

main debug: net: opening 234.5.2.101 datagram port 20000 main debug: IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP multicast request main debug: using access module "access_udp" main debug: Using AStream*Block main debug: pre buffering

Pre-buffering is supposed to be followed by actual buffering and finally detected video/audio formats and displayed media. Either you don't wait long enough or VLC does not receive any packages from your network. Are you using any (accidentally enabled?) firewall software on your Mac or on the network between you and the sender?

After repairing permissions and changing some vlan parameters, we have achieved to run VLC player on Lion OS X. Thanks for your help. The topic is solved.
