Please complete the following information about your configuration:

• FreetuxTV version: 0.5.2

Describe here your problem:

Sound stops after a few second watching any channel (FreeboxTV or WebTV)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When I start FreetuxTV from console (after removing ~/.config/FreetuxTV dir and forced to re-import all channels), here are the messages I get:

Note that this is a version I completely compiled on my computer from source without any error.

Thanks,

I can now reproduce this problem, on Linux Mint Debian Edition (2011/09). The problems seems not be present with VLC. I will try to find the problem quickly.

This seems to be a LibVLC problem, I reported it to the VLC team.

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/6119

The bug seems to be corrected after upgrade to VLC 2.0.0.
