I'm not sure how to re-open a bug (I've only used mailing lists a few times and I reported a bug only once before) so I'm going to assume that by replying back it'll re-open the bug (sorry for the noobishness :P)
My bad, I've now commented out the deb-multimedia repos from /etc/apt/sources.list and reinstalled vlc, now these are the details of the package: _______________________________________________________________________________ -- 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 libfreerdp1 1.1.0~git20140809.1.b07a5c1+dfsg-4+b1 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 libgles1-mesa [libgles1] 10.2.6-1 ii libgles2-mesa [libgles2] 10.2.6-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1 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 libsm6 2:1.2.2-1 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 2.2.0~pre2-4+b1 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-render0 1.10-3 ii libxcb-shape0 1.10-3 ii libxcb-shm0 1.10-3 ii libxcb-xfixes0 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 2.2.0~pre2-4+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages vlc recommends: ii vlc-plugin-notify 2.2.0~pre2-4+b1 pn vlc-plugin-samba <none> ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.1 Versions of packages vlc suggests: pn videolan-doc <none> Versions of packages vlc-nox depends on: ii liba52-0.7.4 0.7.4-17 ii libasound2 1.0.28-1 ii libass5 0.10.2-3 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-4 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-4 ii libavc1394-0 0.5.4-2 ii libavcodec56 10:2.4-dmo1 ii libavformat56 10:2.4-dmo1 ii libavutil54 10:2.4-dmo1 ii libbasicusageenvironment0 2014.01.13-1 ii libbluray1 2:0.6.2-dmo1 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libcddb2 1.3.2-5 ii libcdio13 0.83-4.2 ii libchromaprint0 1.1-1+b2 ii libcrystalhd3 1:0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19-11 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.8-1 ii libdc1394-22 2.2.2-3 ii libdca0 0.0.5-dmo2 ii libdirectfb-1.2-9 1.2.10.0-5 ii libdvbpsi9 1.2.0-1 ii libdvdnav4 5.0.1-1 ii libdvdread4 5.0.0-1 ii libebml4 1.3.0-dmo1 ii libfaad2 2.7-8 ii libflac8 1.3.0-2 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.1 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-1.1 ii libfribidi0 0.19.6-2 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-14 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.2-3 ii libgnutls-deb0-28 3.3.7-2 ii libgpg-error0 1.15-1 ii libgroupsock1 2014.01.13-1 ii libiso9660-8 0.83-4.2 ii libjpeg8 8d1-1 ii libkate1 0.4.1-1.1 ii liblircclient0 0.9.0~pre1-1.1 ii liblivemedia23 2014.01.13-1 ii liblua5.2-0 5.2.3-1 ii libmad0 0.15.1b-8 ii libmatroska6 1.4.1-dmo1 ii libmodplug1 1:0.8.8.4-4.1 ii libmpcdec6 2:0.1~r459-4.1 ii libmpeg2-4 0.5.1-6 ii libmtp9 1.1.8-1 ii libncursesw5 5.9+20140913-1 ii libogg0 1.3.2-1 ii libopus0 1.1-2 ii libpng12-0 1.2.50-2 ii libpostproc52 6:0.git20120821-4 ii libraw1394-11 2.1.0-3 ii libresid-builder0c2a 2.1.1-14 ii libsamplerate0 0.1.8-8 ii libschroedinger-1.0-0 1.0.11-2.1 ii libshine3 3.1.0-2 ii libshout3 2.3.1-3 ii libsidplay2 2.1.1-14 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1.2-1 ii libspeexdsp1 1.2~rc1.2-1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.1-14 ii libswscale3 6:11-1 ii libtag1c2a 1.9.1-2.1 ii libtheora0 1.1.1+dfsg.1-3.2 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1 ii libtwolame0 0.3.13-1.1 ii libudev1 215-4 ii libupnp6 1:1.6.17-1.2 ii libusageenvironment1 2014.01.13-1 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.19-1 ii libvcdinfo0 0.7.24+dfsg-0.2 ii libvlc5 2.2.0~pre2-4+b1 ii libvlccore8 2.2.0~pre2-4+b1 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.2-1.4 ii libvorbisenc2 1.3.2-1.4 ii libvpx1 1.3.0-2.1 ii libx264-142 3:0.142.2479+gitdd79a61-dmo1 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-4 ii libzvbi0 0.2.35-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages vlc-nox suggests: ii libdvdcss2 1.3.0-dmo1 Versions of packages libvlc5 depends on: ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libvlccore8 2.2.0~pre2-4+b1 Versions of packages libvlccore8 depends on: ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.8-1 ii libidn11 1.29-1 ii libproxy-tools 0.4.11-4 ii vlc-data 2.2.0~pre2-4 Versions of packages vlc is related to: pn libavutil50 <none> pn libavutil51 <none> -- no debconf information ___________________________________________________________________________________ Unfortunately this did not solve the problem, it still retrieves streams very slowly, and what's interesting is that the stream closes almost always at the same point in the video every time I try, which would suggest that it might not be a network-related issue (and that's why I'm posting here) I still get the same messages in stdout (vlc -vvv) as last time, with the occasional buffering messages.
