[streaming] Re: VLC and IGMPv3 multicast streaming on Windows XP

[Marshall Eubanks]

Both the application and the OS have to support IGMPv3 for it to  
work. Since
XP Pro does, it sounds like either VLC doesn't or there is something  
wrong with the API.

The multicast source does not send IGMP packets unless it's also a  
receiver.

Make sure that there is nothing else "speaking" v2 on the LAN, in case
it is setting itself into v2 mode for compatibility.

How are you telling the VLC receiver about the multicast source IP  
address ?
