RP filter was the problem. I did what flyowynd suggested, and I can now view multicast streams again!!! I am multi-homed, but I believe my routing table is correct: 224.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 This routing table entry points to eth0 which is the interface the multicast is on.

Source port 0 is not the problem, because other streams with source ports 6000 have the same problem. The problem only exits on Linux boxes. Windows does not have any problem with these streams ;-(

No, if the source address was wrong, then I wouldn't get the stream to the PC. Here is my vlc command line (no video): vlc udp://10.249.1.6@232.19.254.246:13246 At the same time here is output from tcpdump: 10:52:02.541726 IP 10.249.1.6.0 > 232.19.254.246.13246: UDP, length 1316 10:52:02.541826 IP 1...

I checked iptables on my PC, and it is disabled. I know the port number is correct because the same port/stream works on another PC connected to the same LAN. Also, tcpdump shows that I am using the correct port number. For some reason VLC is not getting the stream, even though tcpdump shows the str...

Using VLC 1.0.2 client on Kubuntu Karmic Koala no longer can view input UDP Multicast MPEG-2 streams. The command "vlc udp://10.249.1.6@232.19.254.246:13246" opens the vlc client, but no video. Here is the debug log: main debug: processing request item udp://232.19.254.246:13246 node Playl...
