Hi,

I'm trying to display a MPEG TS UDP stream in OBS studio 18.0.1 using the media source plugin, it works, but every few seconds or so, the frame distorts and goes bad.

This issue does not happen in the OBS classic 0.659b using the Video source plugin, instead the stream is rendered perfectly throughout.

The classic has libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll inside its video source plugin.
But these DLLs cannot be found in media source plugin, any idea which versions of the DLL is used?

Just want to fix my bad frames. Thank you.

I found my answer here: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Sources-Guide#media-source
Speciflcally under VLC Video Source

"It requires that VLC be installed on your system to show up as an available source in OBS. If you are using 64bit OBS, you must install 64bit VLC and if you are using 32bit OBS, you must install 32bit VLC."

A suggestion is to always show VLC Video Source, but as "Disabled" when VLC itself is not installed.
For a long while, I thought Media Source was the VLC Video source plugin.
