[vlc] Trouble using VLC as streaming client for DVArchive on Mac OS X (10.3)

[David Hearst]

I've installed the following on my Mac, which is currently running Mac 
OS 10.3.2:

	DVArchive 2.1
	VLC 0.7.0 (Bond)

DVArchive is working fine and I'm able to download entire recordings 
from my ReplayTV. I've set DVArchive to execute "vlc" on the command 
line for streaming movies. I've also confirmed that VLC works great if 
I use it to view a locally stored movie that I downloaded from my 
ReplayTV. However, when I try stream playback of a movie store on the 
ReplayTV box, VLC just launches and sits there. The movie doesn't play 
and there's no change in Progress % in DVArchive. It remains at 0%. If 
I capture the URL that DVArchive is sending to VLC and connect to it 
using a Web browser, the file starts to download as expected and I see 
visible progress in DVArchive's Progress %.

I've attached the verbose log output for VLC for one of these streaming 
attempts, in case that helps.

I've tried everything that I can think of and read through the archives 
for this mailing list. I'm at a loss. If anyone out there has a hint, 
suggestion or outright solution, I'd greatly appreciate your help.

(the process just halts at this point, DVArchive shows 0% Progress and 
there's no movie in VLC)
