[vlc] Does VLC support all IGMPv2/v3 messages in Linux?

[Pranjal Dutta (prdutta)]

Hi,
           I am using VLC as Client to receive a Multicast Stream across my 
LAN and using Ethereal to observe the IGMPv2 messages. Now when I add 
Multicast IP addresses one by one into playlist to VLC ( example 224.1.0.1 
port 1234) and play one item ,it sends a IGMPv2 Membership report message, 
but doesn't send the Join message for the selected Multicast group. On 
selecting another Multicast group VLC is not sending IGMPv2 leave message 
for the previous stream. This is happening with VLC installed in 
Windows2000 Server. Does that mean the VLC doesn't support all the IGMPv2 
messages, only Membership report is supported. I know that IGMPv3 is not 
supported in Windows2000, but does VLC also show the same behavior in other 
machines that supports IGMPv3(Means doesn''t send join/leave). Could 
anybody help me out?

Thanks,
Pranjal
