I went through the tortures of the damned in order to upgrade from wheezy to jessie JUST to have the latest version install of VLC. 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 Internet for missing libraries then still filed to build. In the end, the upgrade to Jessie was worth the PST. Just don't attempt it while still in X. :) Ric

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.
