Universal UDP Address
Universal UDP Address
SOMEWHERE in these post I read about a UDP address that was the same address that I was using over the LAN but I was using a different port number for each different stream. Then to view the stream on another computer I could just enter the correct port number in the first UPD/RTP option on the Open Network Stream.
Hunh? 
Streaming, I take it. If you want to send something out on your LAN, accessible to many clients without any additional load on the server, use UDP multicast. On the server you plug in a multicast address in the Stream Output window (you don't have to change your actual server PC's address). The clients then do an open network stream.
Quick and dirty: put in 239.20.30.40 as the Address on both the client and server UDP setup windows. Multicast by definition goes to everyone in the local segment, one copy of the stream that anyone can choose to listen in on.
