Hello,

Using w_scan, I created a channels.conf file and then started vlc: vlc ~/.channels.conf

Does really nobody have an idea what changes from version 0.8 to 0.9 may have introduced those problems? Isn't anyone of the developers reading here?

Hello, I am using kaffeine on a Linux machine to send a DVB-Stream to the broadcast address of the subnet. When I use vlc on Windows XP to open the network stream, I get a very bad display quality.

I found out that I must not enter an IP address on the client side. If I simply choose UDP, Port 1234, it "somehow" works: I can display the stream data in a Windows XP vlc client, but in contrast to a Linux vlc client, I have a very bad display quality.

Do you mean in kaffeine as the destination address or in VLC as source address?

Hello, I am using kaffeine on a Linux machine to send a DVB stream (UDP, Port 1234) to the broadcast address 192.168.1.255. On other Linux machines, VLC can receive and display the stream data. But on Windows XP, I get the following error messages: main error: socket bind error (Cannot assign reques...
