Sorry, I did not make myself clear .. I am talking about socket.bind, 
i.e. with "reconnection" I mean ..

socket.close()
socket.bind((multicast_group,multicast_port))

"vlc --loop rtsp:// " does that, right ?  But for some reason "vlc 
--loop filename.sdp" does not, as demoed in the original question.
