The VideoLAN Forums

I have a new link to EasySAPAnnouncer info, and the downloads, if anyone is interested. https://sites.google.com/a/conncoll.edu/dcc/Home/multicast/esa Have been out of the SAP/SDP "loop" for a while so trying to re-aquaint myself with the standards. I had problems a couple of years ago usi...

Derk-Jan and Rémi, thanks for your prompt response, and for saving me the effort of wading through the rfc, though I am sure I would benefit from it. I am away until Monday, then will definitely contact Wirecast to request they fix their SDP syntax. I am not positive that live555 rejects the non-com...

We use Wirecast on an Intel Mac Mini to multicast H.264 video. The SDP file is used by a SAP server to create SAPs, it's not changed. The SAPs have been detected fine in VLC 0.8.6. However, they are not detected with 0.9.3 and 0.9.4 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Mac OSX 10.5.5, and WinXP SP3 clients. I unders...

I saw the following message in another list, it seems the fix is available, maybe it will help: A new version of the VideoLAN miniSAPserver has been released, which addresses some serious issues. We strongly recommend that users of minisap upgrade ASAP. As usual, minisap can be downloaded from: ftp:...

Please note that when we use VLC to stream H.264 then the client takes 15 seconds extra to start the video. Generally the Voice is preceded before audio for first 15 seconds .. i.e have u waited for at-least 30 seconds on the client side after pressing start button ?? How often do you have keyframe...

Thanks again Rémi for the prompt response.

That's automatic. VLC 0.8.6 listens to SAP on all 4 standard IPv4 scopes. Could someone please tell me what are the standard 4 IPv4 scopes that VLC listens to for SAPS? Are three 224.2.127.254 (port 9875), 239.255.255.255 (port 9875), 239.195.255.255 (port 9875)? What would be the fourth? Thanking ...

Great, that's what I was hoping for. Thanks for the prompt answer.

I'd like to know more about the IPv4 SAP Services Discovery in VLC. I assume, by default, that if I check off the IPv4 box, it will listen to SAPs on 224.2.127.254, port 9875. This will allow me to see globally scoped streams, in the 233 range. However, if I have some locally scoped streams, in the ...

I did a search and did not find anything...I'd like to get more info on the below, if possible: We are waiting for a Visionary Solutions AVN420 H.264 encoder http://www.vsicam.com/index.php?p=view_product&product_id=21 We want to use it to multicast on Internet2, and have it generate SAPs that V...

Reading the above message, I am wondering whether anyone has gotten miniSAPserver to successfully announce MPEG4 H.264 encoded SAPs to VLC, which I would like to do. These would be multicast streamed from QuickTime Streaming Server. The streamed files decode fine, I just want clients to see the SAPS...
