[vlc] Problems with playing an H.264 multicasted stream

[Chhaya, Harshal]

Hi,

I am trying to play a H.264 file that is streamed over
UDP/IPv4 in vlc 0.8.1 on WinXP.

The stream is multicasted to 228.20.30.40 on port number
1234.

The message window displays the following but the video
window doesn't show anything. The capture program,
ethereal, shows that all the packets are being received
correctly.


main debug: adding playlist item `udp://@228.20.30.40' (
udp://@228.20.30.40 )
main debug: prebuffering done 0 bytes in 127s - 0 kbytes/s
main error: cannot pre fill buffer
main warning: cannot create a stream_t from access
main debug: unlocking module "access_udp"
main debug: thread 3180 joined (src/input/input.c:290)
main debug: creating new input thread

ipv4 debug: IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP multicast request
main debug: using network module "ipv4"
main debug: unlocking module "ipv4"
main debug: using access2 module "access_udp"
main debug: pre buffering


This is currently a test system where the stream
is being fed directly to the network card. I mean,
there are no routers that exist between the stream
source and this PC.

Any ideas on what is wrong?

Thanks,
