Hi guys. I have one problem. I want to play a multicast stream. udp://239.1.1.1:8888. The player version 0.9.8 everything works. In 1.1.7 and 1.1.11 - no.

what's the problem?

operating system - windows xp. (debian too)

Do you have the logs ?

by windows haven't logs

Hum stupid question: isn't udp://@239.1.1.1:8888 the right mrl (with the '@') ?

I can only get MCAST to work on 0.8.x and 1.1.11 the others won't do a PIM join. Also make sure you set the TTL:)
