I'm running 2.1.2 "Rincewind" now and all is happy ...so far. I
tried to use their source build, but it sucked down half the

p/s send me the stream URL and I'll attempt it here to see if that
has been fixed.
Any other suggestions that don't require using Jessie for
viewing/capturing streaming video? I haven't run a Testing box in
many years. Since my wife and daughter are also on this box (with
three X sessions running 24/7) I would rather not try to do so again
at this time.
It should be sufficient to do
vlc "your_url"
to view streaming video. Some idea of where you are trying to stream
from, including providing the suggested "your_url", might help.
