[QUOTE="haggard, post: 85107, member: 183237"] That also doesnt surpise me. I first looked at VLC about a year (?) ago when there was zilch to play mpg video on Mac apart from Quicktime which is (was) appalling when it pulls the file from an external disk. Then, VLC was being produced by some students in France and it had more flakes than a cadburys bar. Its better now, but it never fails to crash XP on my Sony Vaio and it has the flakes you notice. Its definitely beta still. It is my belief that any changes you can make during streaming are not intended by authors and it is sheer luck if you can change anything. Intention is you close VLC, change and restart. BTW, there is a new version of DreamstreamX out for Mac (31.12.04). I am told that some people can stream to Mac with this - and previous versions. But VLC bombs out after about 10 secs. It is not, as author suggested to me, my G4 tit processor struggling with simultaneous streaming and decoding mpeg. Safari + VLC is OK. It is the DreamstreamX-VLC interface. There is no visible playlist file, so one cannot intervene. Using Safari, the header on the VLC pre-window refers to the VLC media player. With DreamstreamX, it switches from this to text stdin and then crashes. Alas it is a hobby for the author, Peter M, who has a day job in a music establishment. If he debugged it, he could sell it.
