Problem to receiving a webcast ?!

Postby MyVLC » 27 Nov 2005 17:43

Hello,

I'm connecting to intenet via a proxy. I'd like to watch a webcast at the following address but the stream doesn't start in spite of I applied the following recommended webcasting (webcaster's instructions):

1. Choose File > Open Network Stream
2. Select UDP/RTP Multicast
3. For "Address" enter 233.0.73.29
4. For the "Port" enter 1234
5. Select OK

For the proxy settings, I configured it as follow : "Settings > Preferences > Input/Codecs > Access modules > "HTTP/HTTPS" address:port (proxy:8080)


After these config, I can't receive the stream ?! Please, anybody knows how can I overcome this trouble and watch this webcast at indicated address ?!!!

My config :
VLC 0.8.4
Win XP pro
internet : local net (LAN) with proxy connection.


Thank you very much for any help

Hello,

This webcast uses multicast. You can only view it if your connection supports this technology (few do). The proxy settings don't apply here as it is not an HTTP connection.

You should ask for more details to the webcaster or to your internet services provider
