The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

Im trying to watch a stream that are being streamed from a ProgDVB broadcast server. It´s being broadcasted over port 10999.
If I use a PC and use the ProgDVB client I can connect to it (and it´s also possible to view it with Windows Media Player after we install some codec files on the PC), but cant seem to find a way to connect to it from VLC. ProgDVB uses the moonlight codec(4.2.2). Do I need a codec for VLC on my mac?

This is in the .bat file I use to install the codec-files on the PC to use Windows Media Player:

%windir%\system\regsvr32 /s NetSource.ax
%windir%\system\regsvr32 /s Sync2Async.ax
%windir%\system\regsvr32 /s mpeg2dmx.ax


I guess they are needed on my Mac, but of course in a OSX-version. Or?

VLC supports 4.2.2 chroma broadcasts and I use it to watch captured .TS files from a Dreambox receiver. Streaming is another problem with VLC reporting errors in the MPEG decoder for me.

how do you connect to it with the moonlight codec?

Probably requires the ts2 demux to work correctly.

Force it by opening the stream like this:
udp/ts2://@ipnumber:port

Doesnt seem to work. This is the error I get when trying your trick:

I deleted everything from my HD and installed VLC again to get a fresh log, so I know that everything in the log is from my attempt. Here it is:

I have made stars over the last two groups in my IP number. I have tested to ping that server, and it works.

ipv4 warning: cannot bind socket (Can't assign requested address)


It doesn't understand the IP you want to bind to. Can't say much more than that.
