Is anyone able to play videos using VLC as player? Or is it something wrong with my installation of VLC?
Well, I tried some months ago to use the VLC external player (made a site that only implemented getVideoList with a hardcoded m3u8 url) and i didn't get it to work. I could start the stream from command line.
(Vague memories: ) Googled and found something about others having some kind of similar problems. It might be related to newer versions of VLC. What happens if you install a earlier version of VLC (VLC.net library is from mid 2011)?
