Package: vlc Version: 1:2.2.0~pre3-dmo2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
x What led up to the situation? After upgrading/updating Debian's VLC packages last week, I noticed that VLC no longer plays streamed videos (over HTTP), and the connection is dropped after a few seconds on any HD stream, which did not happen with the previous versions (2.1.3->2.1.5) The specific feature that I use to access HTTP streams is under File -> "Open Network Stream" or by pasting the video URL from the clipboard. x What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? At first I thought it was an issue only with videos on YouTube (since that's where I watch most of the streamed videos), but I've tested out HD streams from multiple sites/servers and the same happens. For more details and for the log that VLC outputs during streaming (and dropping the connection) I previously posted a thread on VideoLan Forums (where I didn't get any answer). Here's the thread: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=121661 And here's the transcript from the thread: ________________________________________________________________ After I updated VLC to the latest version on the unstable repos in Debian, I cannot watch YouTube videos anymore as they keep stuttering and loading very slowly (this mostly happens when watching HD videos, this didn't happen before I upgraded though), to a point where the connection drops. HTTP streaming might be affected by this too. Here's how the log looks: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- core debug: net: connecting to r14---sn-c0q7ln7y.googlevideo.com port 80 core debug: connection succeeded (socket = 13) http debug: protocol 'HTTP' answer code 206 http debug: Content-Type: video/mp4 http debug: stream size=80906441,pos=1250884,remaining=79655557 http debug: this frame size=79655557 http debug: Connection: close http debug: Server: gvs 1.0 http debug: trying to seek to 1093302 core debug: net: connecting to r14---sn-c0q7ln7y.googlevideo.com port 80 core debug: connection succeeded (socket = 13) http debug: protocol 'HTTP' answer code 206 http debug: Content-Type: video/mp4 http debug: stream size=80906441,pos=1093302,remaining=79813139 http debug: this frame size=79813139 http debug: Connection: close http debug: Server: gvs 1.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It keeps repeating the same messages and floods the log window, which didn't happen before when streaming (yes, it was set to Verbosity level 2) . Also the CPU usage is unusual, takes up 20-30% extra per CPU. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- core debug: net: connecting to r4---sn-4g57kuel.googlevideo.com port 80 core debug: connection succeeded (socket = 14) http debug: protocol 'HTTP' answer code 206 http debug: Content-Type: video/mp4 http debug: stream size=53528086,pos=1016739,remaining=52511347 http debug: this frame size=52511347 http debug: Connection: close http debug: Server: gvs 1.0 core debug: Buffering 54% mp4 warning: track[0x2] will be disabled (eof?) core debug: discarded audio buffer core debug: removing module "faad" core debug: killing decoder fourcc `mp4a', 59 PES in FIFO core debug: removing module "samplerate" core debug: removing module "scaletempo" core debug: removing module "float_mixer" core debug: keeping audio output core debug: EOF reached core debug: Stream buffering done (1381 ms in 4882 ms) core debug: Decoder wait done in 0 ms core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: waiting decoder fifos to empty core debug: finished input core debug: object waitpipe triggered core debug: removing module "avcodec" avcodec debug: ffmpeg codec (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)) stopped core debug: killing decoder fourcc `h264', 0 PES in FIFO core debug: saving a free vout core debug: reusing provided vout qt4 debug: Qt: Fullscreen state changed core debug: removing module "mp4" mp4 debug: freeing all memory core debug: removing module "record" core debug: removing module "http" core debug: Program doesn't contain anymore ES core debug: dead input core debug: changing item without a request (current 0/1) core debug: nothing to play core debug: destroying useless vout core debug: removing module "xcb_glx" core debug: removing module "glx" qt4 debug: IM: Deleting the input core debug: removing module "xdg" qt4 debug: releasing video... qt4 debug: Video is not needed anymore core debug: removing module "freetype" core debug: removing module "yuvp" core debug: removing module "swscale" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16-3.dmz.1-liquorix-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages vlc depends on: ii fonts-freefont-ttf 20120503-4 ii libaa1 1.4p5-43 ii libavcodec56 10:2.4-dmo1 ii libavutil54 10:2.4-dmo1 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libcaca0 0.99.beta19-2 ii libegl1-mesa [libegl1-x11] 10.2.6-1 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-1.1 ii libfribidi0 0.19.6-2 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-14 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 10.2.6-1 ii libpulse0 5.0-6 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-2 ii libsdl-image1.2 1.2.12-5+b2 pn libsdl1.2debian <none> ii libstdc++6 4.9.1-14 ii libva-drm1 1.3.1-3 ii libva-x11-1 1.3.1-3 ii libva1 1.3.1-3 ii libvlccore8 1:2.2.0~pre3-dmo2 ii libvncclient0 0.9.9+dfsg-6 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxcb-composite0 1.10-3 ii libxcb-keysyms1 0.3.9-2 ii libxcb-randr0 1.10-3 ii libxcb-shm0 1.10-3 ii libxcb-xv0 1.10-3 ii libxcb1 1.10-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.2-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.11-1 ii vlc-nox 1:2.2.0~pre3-dmo2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages vlc recommends: ii vlc-plugin-notify 1:2.2.0~pre3-dmo2 ii vlc-plugin-pulse 1:2.2.0~pre3-dmo2 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.1 Versions of packages vlc suggests: pn videolan-doc <none> -- no debconf information
