Well, this shouldn't be VLC related. VLC only tells the OS it wants to
join a multicast group. The OS then generates the proper igmp messages.
However, from my experience, at least with unix boxes, the OS switches
to IGMPv2 as soon as it sees a IGMPv2 on the link. Is there any IGMPv3
unaware element on your link ?
