VLC UDP network stream does not work in Windows, but does in Linux












2















I've got a udp stream (not accesible to the outside world) that VLC has able to play under Linux, but isn't able in Windows. Windows Firewall is turned off. In order to test the udp stream in VLC, I temporarily turned off the antivirus' (ESET Smart Security) firewall, and VLC still wouldn't playback the stream.



How could I investigate what might be blocking the playback of the stream? What's different between Linux and Windows in this regard? Should I inspect the packets in Wireshark, would it help - and if so, what should I exactly look for?



edit: I was pointed at the VLC's "Messages" function. So here are both Linux's and Windows' VLC messages:

  • VLC in Linux and Windows are very similar in this regard. I would suggest trying it with the Messages (Tools menu) window open and turning up the verbosity (-v=2 should give similar results at the command line)

  • The Windows stopping at "starting pre-buffering" typically means its not receiving any data. Are your Linux and Windows machines on the same network?

    – heavyd
    Mar 13 '15 at 2:06











  • @heavyd Yes, it's a same laptop (WiFi disabled) and logs above are produced on the laptop with Windows and liveUSB Linux. I can see that this isn't my specific issue, it seems to be wider (forum.videolan.org/…). But the solution given there did not help.

  • Umm... 283.1.3.1 is not a valid multicast/IP address. Did you mean to use 238.1.3.1?

  • VLC in Linux and Windows are very similar in this regard. I would suggest trying it with the Messages (Tools menu) window open and turning up the verbosity (-v=2 should give similar results at the command line)

  • Edited the original post with messages.

  • The Windows stopping at "starting pre-buffering" typically means its not receiving any data. Are your Linux and Windows machines on the same network?

    – heavyd
    Mar 13 '15 at 2:06











  • @heavyd Yes, it's a same laptop (WiFi disabled) and logs above are produced on the laptop with Windows and liveUSB Linux. I can see that this isn't my specific issue, it seems to be wider (forum.videolan.org/…). But the solution given there did not help.

  • Umm... 283.1.3.1 is not a valid multicast/IP address. Did you mean to use 238.1.3.1?

I've got a udp stream (not accesible to the outside world) that VLC has able to play under Linux, but isn't able in Windows. Windows Firewall is turned off. In order to test the udp stream in VLC, I temporarily turned off the antivirus' (ESET Smart Security) firewall, and VLC still wouldn't playback the stream.



How could I investigate what might be blocking the playback of the stream? What's different between Linux and Windows in this regard? Should I inspect the packets in Wireshark, would it help - and if so, what should I exactly look for?



edit: I was pointed at the VLC's "Messages" function. So here are both Linux's and Windows' VLC messages:

linux networking video vlc-media-player streaming

I've got a udp stream (not accesible to the outside world) that VLC has able to play under Linux, but isn't able in Windows. Windows Firewall is turned off. In order to test the udp stream in VLC, I temporarily turned off the antivirus' (ESET Smart Security) firewall, and VLC still wouldn't playback the stream.



How could I investigate what might be blocking the playback of the stream? What's different between Linux and Windows in this regard? Should I inspect the packets in Wireshark, would it help - and if so, what should I exactly look for?



edit: I was pointed at the VLC's "Messages" function. So here are both Linux's and Windows' VLC messages:

  • VLC in Linux and Windows are very similar in this regard. I would suggest trying it with the Messages (Tools menu) window open and turning up the verbosity (-v=2 should give similar results at the command line)

  • The Windows stopping at "starting pre-buffering" typically means its not receiving any data. Are your Linux and Windows machines on the same network?

    – heavyd
    Mar 13 '15 at 2:06











  • @heavyd Yes, it's a same laptop (WiFi disabled) and logs above are produced on the laptop with Windows and liveUSB Linux. I can see that this isn't my specific issue, it seems to be wider (forum.videolan.org/…). But the solution given there did not help.

  • The Windows stopping at "starting pre-buffering" typically means its not receiving any data. Are your Linux and Windows machines on the same network?

  • @heavyd Yes, it's a same laptop (WiFi disabled) and logs above are produced on the laptop with Windows and liveUSB Linux. I can see that this isn't my specific issue, it seems to be wider (forum.videolan.org/…). But the solution given there did not help.

  • Umm... 283.1.3.1 is not a valid multicast/IP address. Did you mean to use 238.1.3.1?

VLC in Linux and Windows are very similar in this regard. I would suggest trying it with the Messages (Tools menu) window open and turning up the verbosity (-v=2 should give similar results at the command line)

Who would've thought that the solution is that simple. I mentioned a link in the comment section that said to disable the wireless adapter - this did not help. Then I was googling by using the keywords: "firewall" site:videolan.org and came across this topic where the user was asked if he has VMWare or VirtualBox installed. And this gave me an idea to disable the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter and now the udp stream is working.

  • Hmm... I bet if you specified the interface to bind to you could make it work without disabling interfaces. Something like: udp://<your IP>@238.1.3.1:1234 Try that with the interfaces enabled.

  • @heavyd That's strange, it didn't work. It should though. Given that the format is this: udp://[[<source address>]@[<bind address>][:<bind port>]]. So I looked up my laptop's IP via ipconfig and used the udp address with the IP and VLC would stay silent.

Список кардиналов, возведённых папой римским Каликстом III

Папа Каликст III Кардиналы, возведённые Папой римским Каликстом III  — 9 прелатов и мирян были возведены в сан кардинала на двух Консисториях за трёхлетний понтификат Каликста III. Самой крупной консисторией были Консистория от 17 декабря 1456 года, на которой было возведено шесть кардиналов. Папа Каллист III хотел назвать отца Жан Сорета, O.Carm., епископом или кардиналом, но он отказался, потому что хотел посвятить себя своему ордену и продвижению религиозного рвения и соблюдения устава монашеского ордена. Консистория от 17 сентября 1456 года | Луис Хуан дель Мила, племянник Его Святейшества, епископ Сегорбе (королевство Арагон); Жайме Португальский, администратор архиепархии Лиссабона (королевство Португалия); Родриго де Борха-и-Борха, племянник Его Святейшества, ризничий Валенсии (Папская область).

Il ragionamento deduttivo umano assimilato a un meccanismo Il metodo deduttivo o deduzione è il procedimento razionale che fa derivare una certa conclusione da premesse più generiche, dentro cui quella conclusione è implicita. Il termine significa letteralmente «condurre da», perché proviene dal latino "de" (traducibile con da , preposizione indicante provenienza, o moto di discesa dall'alto verso il basso) e "ducere" ( condurre ).
