[vlc] Re: vlc with Optibase MGW2000

[Matthew Galvin]

I had the same problem with the Optibase MGW-2000. It's more frustrating
when something almost works, than when it doesn't work at all!
I let the regional rep for Optibase know that this is a bug that they
must resolve.

We're also working with Vbrick, which has even more problems!

Thanks!

It isn't a matter of how many TS headers are required.

The stream you are sending is composed of MPEG TS packets, each TS
packet
is 
188 bytes in size. When you send this through the network, you
encapsulate 
the TS packets into UDP packets.

You should always stuff an integer number of TS packets in 1 UDP packet
and 
furthermore, a UDP packet should always begin with the beginning of a
new 
TS packet (For synchronisation reasons).

Unfortunately MGW2000 don't do this (which is very bad). I would advise
you 
to complain to Optibase so they fix this.
