2.0.4 not playing RTP stream anymore

Hi! We're streaming video as H264 encoded RTP stream. While this worked fine until VLC 2.0.3, with the new VLC 2.0.4 the stream is not played anymore. To receive the stream an SDP file is loaded in VLC. I tried the following:

  • VLC 2.0.3 is installed, SDP is loaded --> stream is shown
  • uninstalled VLC 2.0.3 incl. "delete preferences and cache"
  • installed VLC 2.0.4 incl. "delete preferences and cache"
  • opened the same SDP in VLC 2.0.4 --> stream is not received
  • uninstalled 2.0.4 and installed 2.0.3 again --> stream is received again

The debug output reported that live555 was not receiving data in 2.0.4.

Tested on Windows XP and Windows 7, both show the same problem. Not tested on other platforms.
