Multicast Help..

[CD]

at the receiving end I am keep getting this message "no access_demux module matched UDP" and the Video does not display. On the Video source I am sending the stream using Wizard where local avi or mpeg file is selectd as input file, UDP Multicast address is selcted which is 232.10.10.1 with MPEG TS and 500 msec TTL.

The ttl is in router hops. not ms.

Sorry, doing too many things at the same time. yes you are right the TTL is router hop and not ms. Still I need a answer for why I can not receive the video at receiving end. its simple configuration. I have a simulator box which act as a router and supports PIM-SM and IGMP v1, v2 and v3.

on one interface I have a source attached, which is Windows XP SP2 and running VLC media palyer. using a wizard I send the AVI stream and I
know its sending because I can verify it by looking at the port utilization.

on the second interface I have other laptop attached, which is Winodws XP SP2 and running VLC media player. when I try to open a network stream with Multicast address 232.10.10.1 I am keep getting the
message "no access_demux module matced udp". on my simulator module everything is good because I do see entry for PIM database with correct group prefix and source address. I also see V2 report on IGMP and leave statistics.

The main question is can I use VLC as a server and receiver both.
any help is appreciated.

Well you must be doing SOMETHING wrong with firewall or VLC settings. Because VLC was built for this, and hunderds of people use it daily. Try without the router on a direct link for instance.

Or try different mcast IPs.
