Restream UDP Multicast Video Using VLC to Windows Media Player

[cr4zedchris]

I have been messing around with VLC most of today and searching the Forums and blogs to no avail.

I am attempting to take a incoming UDP stream and re-stream in a format that Windows media player will accept.

My computer with VLC is the only one that will be able to receive this broadcast and the only one that is "allowed" to have VLC on it.

Receive system/Computer with VLC -> Switch ->Router ->switch -> LAN Computers running windows media player.

The incoming video steam is Multicast and is streamed in VLC Using the "udp://@225.x.xx.x:PORT". Incoming format is mpeg-2.

Following the conversation on https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=255 I was able to determine that I would have to use either HTTP or MMSH as my destination.
Since the PC with VLC would be the server for this video I have been using the IP of the NIC with the standard port 8080.
EX:
mms://10.0.0.17:8080
http://10.0.0.17:8080
Transcoding is active as "Video - WMV + WMA (ASF)"
Stream all elementary streams is checked.

On Windows media Player I have Turned on Network Sharing.
Under Organize -> Options -> Network all protocols are checked and ports 7000-9000 are open for this purpose.
Allow the player to receive multicast streams is selected. HTTP is set to Autodetect. RTSP is set to None.
After setting the restream on VLC I am unable to connect on windows media player with the error being " Windows Cannot play the file because of a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and the proxy settings are correct."
On a separate instance of VLC I get the following error trying to bring up the rebroadcast.
"VLC is unable to open the MRL 'mms://10.0.0.17"8080'. Check the log for details."

The computers that would end up running this set up are all the same hardware with slight software differences, (Win 7 vs Win 10) the computers I am conducting the test on are all win 10.

The incoming streams that I would have to run this on would be 5 concurrent streams.

If someone has any input I would be grateful.
