Unable to join UDP Multicast with 1.1.4

[nelliott]

First, I confirmed that this works fine with VLC 1.0.5 (I knew this because I've been using previous releases of VLC for this purpose for a few years now).
Snooping with Wireshark does not even show a IGMP join request from VLC under version 1.1.4. I am attempting to join with the syntax "udp://239.0.2.21:2021". I looked through the documentation, and this looks like the correct syntax. Is UDP Multicast broken with 1.1.4?

I will try to test with other 1.1.x releases as well as test under corresponding Linux VLC releases.

Update - tested under Ubuntu 10.04: 1.0.6 works properly, 1.1.4 does not. (

I didn't see this in the documentation (probably just missed it by reading too fast) but the new syntax for joining a UDP Multicast is "udp://@239.0.2.21:2021" Gotta have the "@" sign in there or it wont work.

That's not the new syntax. It's always been like that.
