Package: vlc
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: normal
Yesturday, I could watch video streamed from my mythtv box on my LAN
without any trouble. Today, I upgraded vlc, and it no longer works.
Yesterday, the video and sound were both smooth and basically
perfect. Today, instead of video, its like a skipping sequence of
single frames. There is no sound, and the buffer numbers in the lower
right hand side are jumping all over the place.
I don't know enough about vlc to suggest what's wrong.
Downloading the stream using wget, I get bandwidth ranging between
1.3-1.5M/s.
