the multicast address is the same but i can't stream the videos over to the client computer, which is int fa0/1.

I'm actually having the same issue now, which is why I registered. The problem is that the IGMP group is not created by the newer versions of VLC. This works fine in the older versions like vlc-0.8.6i-win32.exe. Unfortunately, video seems a bit skippy using that version. Run this:

Code: Select all

sh ip mroute

if there is an ip address instead of an * before the / then it has a host for that IGMP group. If it looks like */ipaddress then your problem is caused by the application not creating the IGMP group.

Additionally, make sure you have multicast routing set up. I use pim on my networks.

its all * instead of the ip address. so when you say, problem is caused by the application not creating the IGMP group, is there anything i can do to the application?

yes, I actually just fixed this problem. Use command prompt instead of the gui. For instance:

vlc -vvv "C:\movie.mpg" --sout udp:232.1.1.1:1234 --ttl 10

this should fix your problem

i'm using vlc-vvv movie.avi --sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=225.5.5.10:1234}}--loop in command prompt but still it doesn't stream out to the client.

Try doing what I said. If you still have difficulties after that, feel free to send me a message on AOL. sn: revnonofrune

hi, I'm new to this forum and vlc. Can you share your router configuration, IOS version (sh run, sh ver) and vlc version? I would like to simulate the setup.
