The VideoLAN Forums

I would like to kwow why I can´t see the video. Is this a good configuration?.

The server side (VLS streaminig server):

VLC.CFG

I start the program with this command (start damian multicast local1 - -loop)

The client side (VLC client):

% vlc -vvv udp:@239.255.12.42


Thanks, Damian.-

Hi,
seems to be a typo ? it should be
DstHost = "239.255.12.42"
DstPort = "1234" # (default listening port of vlc)
