Re: Expert help needed to get live-tv rtmp streams to playback in VLC


I am able to get it working "ok" with the current 2 streams; but, still get a little bit stuttering; which I dont see on the original web based embedded player.

It makes sense that there would be settings (exposed in GUI or not) that could optimize network video streaming; which may sacrifice other types of media playback. In my case, it would be perfectly fine since I only need VLC to playback video via network. I use MPC-HC for everything else.

I did see settings which might help the stuttering. I may need to experiment. I didn't see anyone posting their network-optimized settings online; at least I didn't find anything useful.

My guess is that the intention of VLC developers to establish a caching policy suitable for all streams has failed, for no matter how much you play with its cache settings, you won't reach the desired effect.
