C client for receive the stream broadcasted by vlc

[giorgino]

Hi all,
I know that an interesting feature of VLC is that to tune a stream and broadcast it with a multicast address in the network using udp. In this way with another vlc that acts as a client we can receive that stream and visualize it. I would like to do the same thing, but I wouldn't use another vlc as a client, but I would usea program that I have written(on Linux). I have not problem for part regarding video, while my problem is that to be able to connect to the udp (I believe udp with rtp) to have to disposition the broadcasted stream. Anyone can give me some suggestions about this issue?

A good day to all!
