Hi guys,

I have an HD receiver with a function of unicast streaming , you give one IP to the receiver and it will start to unicast to it .

My HD receiver IP is : 192.168.1.5
My PC VLC client IP is : 192.168.1.6


Note : 1- my PC client and my HD receiver are in the same LAN network.
2- My PC receives the stream very well , because when I go to network connection details of my NIC , a big quantity of packets are coming ...


I want to play this received streaming on VLC client but my concern is , I don't know which parameters (port, which protocol used , ..) I should put in VLC client.

Any one has an idea how to find port and protocol used by the receiver ? is there any tool for that ?

thanks in advance,
Abdel

Hi,

I took a trace with wireshark , I found that the HD receiver is sending the streaming through a UDP port to 5000 port on my machine as below :

Protocol IP source IP destination port source port destination size

UDP 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.6 58278 5000 1514

UDP->Fragment 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.6 --- --- 1514

UDP->Fragment 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.6 --- --- 1514



I tried to play the stream using UDP/RTP on port 5000 on my machine (192.168.2.6), but nothing is played ..

Any one has an idea ??

Thanks

I think that VLC is not able to play this stream (don't know why ...???) , is there any good software to play netwrok stream UDP ???

Thanks for advice ...

You should put the receiver IP, from what I understood.
