<div>Hi </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I need some help with streaming H264 encoded video using VLC. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a hardware encoder using which I am encoding H.264 file. I am able to play the file in latest version of VLC 0.8.6d, however I am unable to stream the file. I am getting following trace while streaming,</div>
<div> </div>

<div>=============================================</div>
<div> </div>
<div>After parsing the entire file, the streamer just stops without streaming. Any idea what H264 format VLC is looking for?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am also attaching the H.264 encoded file.</div>

<div>MPEG4IP Tool output for the encoded file is as follows:</div>
