vlc multicast sap group uknown option

[ntmark]

I'm trying to setup a multicast source with a "group" option, the old docco page says it's a valid option group="testgroup" for example but log says "main stream out warning: option group is unknown"
old page
This is the command i'm using to start it, and without the group option it's fine, but SAP into in channel list is in the root of the folders.
cvlc -v Liquid-Soul-Live.2017.mp3 --loop -I dummy --miface=enp8s0 --ttl=7 --sout-keep --sout='#std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.20.248:5001,sap,group="test",name="TestAudio"}'
This is on a RHEL 9 server fully updated.
cvlc is version 3.0.19 Ventinari

VLC SAP folder structure should be something like this.

folder1
|- SKY News
|- BBC
folder2
|- APTN
|- CNN
TestAudio <- this isnt in a folder

note: we have no problems putting channels in groups with our Exterity system

any help appreciated.

I believe the old documentation is correct. You're not following it though.

Nowhere does it show a group option for the standard output module.

Under the multicast streaming examples it shows;

Code: Select all

% vlc -vvv file:////home/vlc/Jumper.avi --sout '#rtp{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=224.255.1.1,port=1234,sap,group="Video",name=Jumper Movie"}' :sout-all

Does this not create a group? is it for something else?

Do i need to change me sout to std from rtp then?

I'm not sure what else to look for aside from group, to find what i'm looking for.
Thanks for any help.
