<p>Which distro are you using? It may not have been compiled with network support.</p>
<p>You may also try smplayer, amarok and banshee.</p>
<p>For debugging, start vlc from the commandline with the debug switch set.<br>

My isp is comcast.<br>
The VLC media -> Internet -> Freebox TV<br>
<br>
displays no stations.<br>
<br>
So, I googled, and found a message on the forum<br>
<a href="http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=81352" target="_blank">http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=81352</a><br>
<br>
responding to another OP with the same problem. The response is:<br>
<br>

<hr size="2" width="100%"><br>
You can simply try using this URL as an alternative solution:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u" target="_blank">http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u</a><br>
<br>
<hr size="2" width="100%"><br>
and the original OP seeking an answer claims that that worked.<br>
<br>
Well, for me, it does not work at all.<br>
What I get from the above URL is an FM station, not sure which, and
an error banner stating:<br>
<br>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><span style="color:#ff0000">Your input can't be opened:</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px"><span style>VLC is unable to open the MRL
'<a href="http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u" target="_blank">http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u</a>'. Check the
log for details.</span></p>
<br>
I have no idea where the log is, as I cannot find it in ~/.vlc or in
~/.vlc/cache<br>
nor is there a log in /var/log for vlc.<br>
