The VideoLAN Forums • View topic - AVI stream via HTTP not draggable (not seekable)
Hi,
I'm having problem viewing AVI video stream via http (video-on-demand).
I placed an AVI file on my webserver, and tried to access it through the command-line: vlc -vvv http://test-machine/vstream/file.avi .
This opens the VLC GUI which pops up a dialog box which says "This AVI file is broken.
Seeking will not work correcly.
Do you want to try to repair it (this might take a long time)?
Answering either yes or no here will yield the same result.
The video will be played, but are not seekable.
The same video will play fine (seekable) when opening with VLC Player or Windows Media Player through the filesystem.
Any ideas or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much!

AVI files do not stream well because of the indexing and when you get them to stream they are not seekable because of the index.
This is an known issue.
Resolve: Use another mux method.
