The VideoLAN Forums

hello,
im trying to stream a svcd on my lan on a server so that other people can access it. i think this is beeing done by using in channel config the type "multicast". problem is, that i always have to define a dsthost, means to which i want to stream. cause i want to let it act as a server this should be pretty unnecessary.
if anyone has a solution please help me.
my config looks like the following for now:

begin "multicast"
type = "multicast"
ttl = "0"
dsthost = "127.0.0.1"
dstport = "1234"
end

the server is starting and it says program started, but noone seems to be able to connect via udp://@ip
ty,
raskk

Hello,

1) Your DstHost must be the multicast ip address (between 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255, for private use, begin with 239.255.)

2) I don't know what the result is, but zero as TTL is not really a good thing.

You should have someting like this:
Then, the clients must start with udp://@239.255.1.1

ty zorg, ill give it a try later, maybe it will do

wow, it rooockz !
ty it works !
