HLS stream stops after few minutes - Galious77 - 2013-05-10
When I go to http://www.fengyunzhibo.com/tv/380789_1361122311044-54699279.htm I can stream this video flawlessly. However, when I access the very same stream using XBMC (http://imgWNAS0WNAS5WNASln1.m2wscdn-h.kukuplay.com/ts/380789_1361122311044_1367135530126/playlist.m3u8), the video stops after 1 or 2 minutes.
I need to access the stream from XBMC as the XBMC server is an old AMD Athlon 64 X2 3500+ that can't keep up with the CPU hog that is called Flash Player (CPU goes to 100% if I enlarge the video to 1024x768) (newest drivers, enabling/disabling hardware acceleration and upgrading Flash Player did not help). In XBMC the video plays like a breeze though... for 1-2 minutes that is!
Help!

What version of XBMC are you using?
If you haven't already, try running a nightly development build of XBMC in portable mode as ffmpeg was recently updated which may improve this.

Thank you for the reply! I tried the newest nightly build (May 10th), but the issue is still there, I'm afraid.
