[vlc-devel] Re: Multicast streaming over wifi

Nature of the beast -- multicast means you're sending non-ACK'd UDP
multicast payload.

If you control the WiFi network, you might try nudging the network speed
down a notch.

Otherwise, switch to an ACK'd protocol, such as mms, plus play with the
caches to allow enough time for the retransmits to occur without having to
drop frames.

Subject: [vlc-devel] Multicast streaming over wifi

I'm experimenting multicast streaming over wifi and it doesn't work properly
(too many packet lost).
Would it be possible to implement a solution for this in VLC ?
I found this:

col-for-Robust-MPEG-4-Multicasting-Over-Wireless-LANs.cfm?objid=32&pid=42
Don't you think something like UI-FEC could help.

Regards,
Nicolas.
