[Question] WebMediaPortal - VLC Direct does not work (1 Viewer)

[matejdro]

I have a problem with VLC Direct streaming with WebMediaPortal. It does not work - VLC in browser will just show black screen with VLC logo in the middle, while standalone VLC will show title of the stream for a second and then stop. Still no video or sound.

VLC Direct works with aMPDroid and flash options work in WebMediaPortal.

Any idea what could be wrong? Logs are included.

EDIT: Also, movies appear to work. Just TV doesn't.

Yes, this is a more or less known issue that sometimes happens, but no one has been able to find a cause yet.

As this is the most important feature ... how we should proceed with this issue ?
I know that Direct Streaming via I-Net was working with 0.43 but not with any 0.5 version.
So i´m not the expert, but how can we help to kill this issue ?

There's not much you can do to help without any development experience.

You are right ... but i saw many post where the problem is the same. So i think many people are interested to find the root cause. The problem of a forum is, that most the times only people with problems writing something. So people where everything is working will be on "mute". What i miss is a dedicated tread where we can collect some stuff which are equal or not. Also i real statement from the developer site, that this issue can be reproduced or not.

for Example

Version : 0.53
OS : WHS2011
IIS : ISS Edition

Short Description of the Problem or no Problems :

Live TV does not work via Direct Profile
Live TV does work via Flash
Recordings does work via Direct Profile
Recordings does work via Flash

It might be that WHS2011 is the problem, or ISS Edition is the "Troublemaker". But i can´t find some statements regarding this.

If something is needed for Troubleshooting or testing - please let me know
