[vlc] Problem using source-specific multicast with VLC under Linux

[olourdais at altern.org]

Hi all,
I'm using VLC to display TS/UDP SSM (source-specific multicast, see RFC
3569) streams.
2 stations of my LAN send data :
- 192.168.0.2 to 224.42.42.42:1234 and 224.42.42.43:1234
- 192.168.0.3 to 224.42.42.42:1234
On another station, I launch two instances of VLC.

When both stations display udp://192.168.0.3@224.42.42.42 stream, it
works very well.
When one station displays udp://192.168.0.2@224.42.42.42 stream and the
other one displays udp://224.42.42.43:1234 stream, it works very well.
But when one station displays udp://192.168.0.2@224.42.42.42 stream and
the other one displays udp://192.168.0.3@224.42.42.42 stream, only one
of the two streams can be displayed at the same time : when I press the
"play" button of an instance of VLC, the other one seams to not receive
any data anymore (and if I press "stop" then "play" buttons of the
second instance, the first stop receive data).

This problem doesn't happen under Windows XP, so do you think it's a bug
in VLC or in the Linux kernel ?

(I use VLC 0.7.2 (Mandrake package) and 2.6.3-4mdk kernel.)

Thanks
Olivier Lourdais
