[vlc-devel] multicast stream receiving problems

[fayyaz lodhi]

I have been searching with keyword "multicast" added to search string. When
i search only with buffering or stuttering with the error above i found the
following thread. Don't know whether it would solve my issues. But i am
going through each of the advices listed such as renaming dlls etc. I have
already tried maximizing network caching to 6000. That improved situation a
little in the sense naturally when some cached section was being played.
But over all it was still a pathetic experience i.e. no video in the
beginning, audio being halted all the time, and a few seconds video after
every 10-15 sec.
