[streaming] Re: Multicast question

[Jimmy]

I am just streaming an mpeg I have succesfully streamed using unicast, here is some of command line:

vls -vv -d udp:224.0.0.1 file:/home/GR/electronicwarfare.mpg (unicast operation works fine)

To answer your question Ben, I don't think I compiled it with dvb enabled, as i was going to stream any dvb, i can always recompile if needed. I chose 224.0.0.1 mainly cuz it is already in routing tables. I have read the 224.0.0.1 would never be routed, so thought it was safe to use. I have started reading more and more about the scheme, but the subnet mask still getting me confused. How did you come up with your multicast address?

Thnx,
Jimmy

    I have tried doing a multicast stream using VLC and VLS (both linux) to a windows and linux client, but all I get is sound...no video. I have just started interest in multicast so not really up on the ip addressing scheme. I figure I could use the 224.0.0.1 address to stream to everyone on subnet 192.168.1.0 ( all systems support multicast). It seems to be functioning half-way, but not sure if I am going at it the right way. Any suggestions?

  Since you don't describe what you're streaming,
  are you able to successfully stream video using non-multicast
  on the same machine, then non-multicast to a second
  machine?

  (a command-line would be helpful or a snippet of your config)
