Hi everyone,

I try to configure vlc as SSM listener.

As stated in Advanced Use of VLC, this can be configured this way:
vlc rtp://server_address@multicast_address:port
for instance:
vlc rtp://1.2.3.4@239.1.2.3:3344

When I enter this, wireshark recognized this as igmp v2. Same is on uplink switch:
ie3k#sh ip igm snooping groups | i 1/2
1 239.1.2.3 igmp v2 Gi1/1, Gi1/2

I tried this on win10 and on linux. VLC is version 3.0.8.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

IGMP is handled by your IP stack, not VLC.
