[vlc] Re: about vlc supporting

[zhu zxt]

   Thanks for your reply. You said that VLC supports source specific multicast if there is support of igmpv3 and likely of PIM-SSM on the network. Would you please show me how to configure VLC media player if the demands satisfied.    Look forward to your reply.

There is generally an issue (ie, unreadable stream) if both servers send
on the same UDP port. A solution is to use source specific multicast,
that allows to choose the server. VLC supports this, but you need
support of igmpv3 and likely of PIM-SSM (perhaps other multicast routing
protacols support source multicast as well) on your network.
