Hi

Today I wrote an initial a Gambas vlcplayer class for Gambas. Most of 
the code was borrowed from sources which were most probably coming from 
you. The class was tested with 10 prime German TV channels (all based on 
M3U8 playlists). They all work perfect. Fully synchronous sound and rock 
solid video - also with full HD channels. This confirms many years of 
positive experiences with watching German IPTV with VLC.

All attempts to achieve something similar for IPTV with pure GStreamer 
or gb.media failed. I even had problems playing H.264 encoded video 
files with the  Gambas Mediaplayer class. Some of them were stumbling 
like IPTV and some were OK. Files with other encoding didn't cause such 
problems.

Best regards

Claus
