[vlc-devel] bug with the parsing of a MRL by VLC (tested with a rtmp:// uri)

[Mathieu SCHROETER]

Hello,

I try to use RTMP with VLC, and accordingly to the fact that the
access_rtmp module seems unusable (#error ppc directive), it uses
avformat and it works.

But I've noticed a minor bug when the MRL is parsed by VLC.


For the test, I use:
rtmp://cp82346.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1/CSPAN1@14845

But '@14845' is parsed like a "title":

[0x7fc2e0000e58] main input debug: 
source=`cp82346.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1/CSPAN1' 
title=14845/-1 seekpoint=14845/-1
[...]
[0xdbfe88] access_avio access debug: Opening 
'rtmp://cp82346.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1/CSPAN1'
[0xb62488] qt4 interface debug: IM: Setting an input
Server error: Failed to play  (stream ID: 1).


A workaround is to append an other '@#' at the end..

like:
rtmp://cp82346.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1/CSPAN1@14845@0


[0x18c3898] main input debug: 
source=`cp82346.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1/CSPAN1 at 14845' 
title=0/-1 seekpoint=0/-1
[0x18c3898] main input debug: creating demux: access='rtmp' demux='' 
path='cp82346.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1/CSPAN1 at 14845'

It uses many time for loading/buffering or something else..
I don't know.. maybe only a parameter to change.. but finally the
stream is read. (wait ~15 sec)


I've tested with MPlayer and ffplay where it is much faster
(wait ~2 sec).

ffplay rtmp://cp82346.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1/CSPAN1@14845
mplayer -lavfdopts format=flv -demuxer lavf 
ffmpeg://rtmp://cp82346.live.edgefcs.net:1935/live?ovpfv=1.1/CSPAN1@14845


   VLC media player 1.1.0-git The Luggage (revision
