Cannot connect with UDP stream

Postby jacknsly » 11 Sep 2020 15:16

Hello there,

I am using VLC media player 3.0.9.2 Vetinari on a Ubuntu 20.04 machine. And I have two PCAP files, containing an MPEG TS.
In both files the destination IP address and the destination ports are identical. The destination IP address is a source specific multicast address (232.100.100.1).

When I run

Code: Select all

sudo tcpreplay -i lo first_file.pcap
I can connect the VLC player via

Code: Select all

vlc udp://@232.100.100.1:<dstport>
So I can see the video.

When I try this with the second stream

Code: Select all

sudo tcpreplay -i lo second_file.pcap
it seems, that I don't get any connection to the stream with

Code: Select all

vlc udp://@232.100.100.1:<dstport>
In Wireshark, I can see, that tcpreplay works fine, but
I don't get any audio or video in the VLC player.

I also tried

Code: Select all

vlc udp://<src ip>@232.100.100.1:<dstport>
, but it does not work.

With wireshark, I can export the MPEG TS from the PCAP file and save it as a ts file.
This file runs perfectly fine, so it seems, that the video data of the second stream are correct.

Am i missing something here?

This is my first post here, so please let me know, if I forgot something.

Thank you very much!
