are you streaming anything compatible?
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

what do the View - Messages say?

[Guest]

thanks with the view - message I have seen that it can't connect - it's certainly because of the proxy. anyone know how to configure proxy ?

[Guest]

... but the message is still this:

access_mms error: failed to open a connection (tcp)
access_mms error: failed to open a connection (tcp)
access_mms error: cannot connect to server
access_mms error: cannot connect to viptvr.yacast.net:80
main error: no suitable access module for `mms://viptvr.yacast.net/tvr_radioorient'

works fine here with developement version (i don't have a 0.8.2 version available)

[Guest]

In fact it work in wmplayer because I can set the proxy for all protocol, especially mms in my case.

In VLC I only found how to set proxy for http. I want to use an http proxy for a mms diffusion. is it possible ?

Thanks in advance

Mehdi

try using mmsh instead of mms in the link ... it'll force http usage.

I think VLC don't handle this protcol ?

arg it's a pity that VLS can't use ms through proxy. is there a todo list where I can suggest this for future development ?

[dionoea]

if you're looking for the SOCKS proxy, you can set it up in the prefs.

[Guest]

If I configure socks proxy VLS will play mms protocol through proxy?

Where I can found this setting ?

[Guest]

tired of me ?

[dionoea]

SOCKS proxy configuration in VLC is available here (in the prefs) :

-> Input / Codecs
---> Advanced

(you need to check "advanced options" in order to see the SOCKS configuration options)
