[vlc-devel] Re: bug - vlc 0.8.2 stream and WMP8

Mon Nov 22 20:11:22 CET 2004

i've been doing some more debugging and found this:
WMP8 sends more requests to server
 > means data from client,  < data from vlc server
1st:
-------------------------------------
 >GET /live56.asf HTTP/1.0
 >Accept: */*
 >User-Agent: NSPlayer/8.0.0.4477
 >Host: stream.tvin.sk:1755
 >Pragma: 
no-cache,rate=1.000000,stream-time=0,stream-offset=0:0,request-context=106947072,max-duration=0
 >Pragma: xClientGUID={D444CF1D-E759-47EE-A303-F931C3473505}

<HTTP/1.0 200 OK
<Content-type: application/octet-stream
<Server: Cougar 4.1.0.3921
<Pragma: no-cache
<Pragma: client-id=1041
<Pragma: features="broadcast"
<Cache-Control: no-cache
-------------------------------------
and vlc starts sending binary data
it seems fine, except 'Content-type: application/octet-stream' should 
probably be changed to 'Content-Type: video/x-ms-asf'
--------------------------------------
2nd

----------------------------------------
and vlc starts sending binary data
here is how ffserver from ffmpeg handles the same request:

ffserver works, vlc doesnt

i'm off to test this theory
