I once tried to use VLC to stream an MP4 stream captured by some kind of 3rd party driver so that others could use their VLCs to connect to it and watch what's on air. However, as soon as I begin streaming, it always hung on me (normal playback of the same MP4 captured stream is fine). Were there any improvements in streaming part of VLC? Is it even supposed to work?:)

Thanks, top notch player, I use it exclusively on all my PCs.

Yes, but it works only in very specific cases. We're doing a lot of work on that for 3.0.0


Thanks for the reply!

Can you be more specific on those specific cases?:) Is the bitrate or maybe stream format a problem? Is there a configuration that will always work (we can even forget about MP4) right now?


TS/h264/mpga or HLS ;)
