[streaming] Re: Play Multicast Stream without send IGMP join/leave

[Pranjal Dutta (prdutta)]

Hi,
           Yes, I have tried to listen to a port no 1234 ( from CLI In 
unicast way like udp:1234) on which Multicast stream is already being sent 
to the network. It didn't work. I think because it binds to the host 
unicast address. May be I need to remove setsockopt() to prevent IGMP 
join/leave from source code :-(.Many thanks for your reply.
