VLC won't display MPEG-TS Stream (H.264)

Postby acoolmoose » 10 Jun 2020 17:05

- everything is Windows 10

I have a server streaming an MPEG-TS Stream via UDP multicast and H.264 compressed data.
My client is able to receive the stream just fine but VLC will not.
I enter the network stream "udp://@239.10.1.10:61200" and click play. VLC displays the loading bar for a few seconds then it disappears which seems to indicate that everything is working but no video is displayed. I also noticed that when a stream is working the log continues to grow. In my case the log stops outputting messages but no errors are shown. Here are the last few lines from the log before clicking the stop button (not sure how to attach full log):

Code: Select all

Here you can see the VLC codec information and wireshark running on the client.

At this point, I'm not sure if my server is to blame (breaking spec in some way) or I'm not using VLC correctly. Any insight about what might be going wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try to add after the PORT?pkt_size=1316

"udp://@239.10.1.10:61200?pkt_size=1316"

Normally from where you are streaming should add the packet size 1316 or 7*188 (1316) depends what you are using.
