Okay, now I've tried to play a 320p stream in webm and mp4 from YouTube (can't link to those as those links I get in keepvid.com expire after some time, so you'll have to use that tool yourselves), and the webm one streams smoothly while the mp4 one at times stops to buffer. I've looked at the codec details of each file to check if perhaps the mp4 file has a larger bit rate, but it's not even that case (~340kBps for webm compared to ~330kBps for mp4), so indeed it might be related to that bug you mentioned.

Updated to the latest version on unstable, 2.2.0-pre3, and it's still the same.

Bug#762377: vlc: Videos over HTTP stream very slowly in 2.2.0-pre3
Package: vlc Version: 1:2.2.0~pre3-dmo2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, x What led up to the situation? After upgrading/updating Debian's VLC packages last week, I noticed that VLC no longer plays streamed videos (over HTTP), and the connection is dropped after a few seconds on any HD stream, which did not happen with the previous versions (2.1.3-2.1.5) The specific feature that I use to access HTTP streams is under File - Open Network Stream or by pasting the video URL from the clipboard. x What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? At first I thought it was an issue only with videos on YouTube (since that's where I watch most of the streamed videos), but I've tested out HD streams from multiple sites/servers and the same happens. For more details and for the log that VLC outputs during streaming (and dropping the connection) I previously posted a thread on VideoLan Forums (where I didn't get any answer). Here's the thread: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13t=121661 And here's the transcript from the thread: After I updated VLC to the latest version on the unstable repos in Debian, I cannot watch YouTube videos anymore as they keep stuttering and loading very slowly (this mostly happens when watching HD videos, this didn't happen before I upgraded though), to a point where the connection drops. HTTP streaming might be affected by this too. Here's how the log looks: -- core debug: net: connecting to r14---sn-c0q7ln7y.googlevideo.com port 80 core debug: connection succeeded (socket = 13) http debug: protocol 'HTTP' answer code 206 http debug: Content-Type: video/mp4 http debug: stream size=80906441,pos=1250884,remaining=7967 http debug: this frame size=7967 http debug: Connection: close http debug: Server: gvs 1.0 http debug: trying to seek to 1093302 core debug: net: connecting to r14---sn-c0q7ln7y.googlevideo.com port 80 core debug: connection succeeded (socket = 13) http debug: protocol 'HTTP' answer code 206 http debug: Content-Type: video/mp4 http debug: stream size=80906441,pos=1093302,remaining=79813139 http debug: this frame size=79813139 http debug: Connection: close http debug: Server: gvs 1.0 - It keeps repeating the same messages and floods the log window, which didn't happen before when streaming (yes, it was set to Verbosity level 2) .
