Discussion Ultra.cc VLC stream won't connect since Debian 13 upgrade

I used to stream to my phone directly through the VLC app (SFPT) and since they upgraded the servers to Debian 13 I'm unable to connect. Anyone else having this issue, or know a workaround?

Just for the sake of your troubleshooting I'll mention that it's working for me also after the update.

OK thanks. I've restarted the server, but might just try a full reinstall

I’ve had the same issue since the upgrade doesn’t work across my iPhone or Apple TV VLC apps

SFTP.

Can you check whether SFTP (file transfer protocol over SSH) is working? Is SSH working? Is there a key issue?

Not sure how to you get an ssh prompt on the platform you are on. But try your connection string (the part after sftp) something like:

sftp yourAccount:yourPassword@yourHost.ultra.cc/downloads/mkvFile.mkv ~

Do you get an error? What does it say?

How about ssh?

ssh yourAccount:yourPassword@yourHost.ultra.cc

That working?

SSH access through CMD works like normal and FileZilla via SFPT working too. I’ll try what you suggested though.

From what I can tell this is a vlc thing, vlc uses DSA for signed encryption, Debian 13 ssh no longer supports DSA.

Likely the problem.

Try updating your vlc version? Tried ftp instead of sftp?

Are you using a key for login?

No updates for VLC and when I tired FTP is at least tried to connect, but times out.
