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:

Code: Select all

main error: socket bind error (Cannot assign requested address)
access_udp error: cannot open socket
main warning: no access module matching "udp" could be loaded
main error: open of `udp://@192.168.1.255:1234' failed: (null)

What can I do to solve the problem?

Regards

Is it possible for you to use IP address of 239.0.1.6 ?

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

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.

I did some further research and found that the display problems occur since version 0.9.x, my Linux version of vlc is 0.8.6.h, the Windows version of vlc is 1.0.5. So, I guess that the display problems are not Windows-specific. I will open another thread elsewhere.
