unable to receive ipv6 stream using windows xp vlc client

[glebis]

i've enabled ipv6 on both sender and receiver, and ethereal shows packets being received, but the following error message is received:

main debug:
main debug: creating new input thread
main: playlist item `udp:@[ff02::1]'
main debug: waiting for thread completion
main debug: access `udp', demux `', name `@[ff02::1]'
main debug: looking for access module
main debug: probing 8 candidates
access_udp debug: opening server=:0 local=[ff02::1]:1234
main debug: looking for network module
main debug: probing 2 candidates
main debug: thread 2392 (input) created at priority 15 (src/input/input.c:180)
ipv4 debug: could not build local address
main debug: using network module "ipv6"
main debug: unlocking module "ipv6"
main debug: using access module "access_udp"
access_udp error: recv failed (No error)
access_udp error: recv failed (Bad file descriptor)
access_udp error: recv failed (Bad file descriptor)
access_udp error: recv failed (Bad file descriptor)
access_udp error: recv failed (Bad file descriptor)

i've also tried formulating the address with the port (udp:@[ff02::1]1234

a bit more information.....

if i start the client without streaming anything from the server, i get debug messages indicating that a thread has been started, and "pla ying at normal rate".

when i start the server and it starts streaming, the client starts producing the errors:

access_udp error: recv failed (No error)
access_udp error: recv failed (Bad file descriptor

this would seem to indicate that things are working well enough with the ipv6 protocol stack to pass the stream up to the client, but there is some reason the client can't deal with things once it gets the data.

if i run this using ipv4 unicast, there are no problems, if i run this ipv4 broadcast, the performance is horrible (i have another posting relating to this under the streams section of the forum.

thanks,

Are you sure the router/equipment in your network is suited for this? it looks to me it does something very weird to the packets. or maybe your cabling is b0rked?

If you have a lot of computers behind a single router, it's logical that broadcasting is buggy. The router needs to send the udp packets to ALL the computers in your network.
