VLC 1.1.0 rc1 - Streaming to a specific interface (--miface)

Postby BraCa » 09 Jun 2010 22:04

Hi guys, i'm trying to stream a movie to a specific network interface. The problem is that if i stream it to the wlan0 interface, i'm able to watch it another machine in my network (as expected), but if i try to watch that stream in the same machine that is streaming it, it does not work, but if, i select the eth0 interface instead, it just works fine

Interfaces list (ifconfig)

Code: Select all

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:fc:bf:4b:5c inet addr:192.168.1.68 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21b:fcff:febf:4b5c/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:9193 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:406 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:12155003 (12.1 MB) TX bytes:57995 (57.9 KB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:e8:64:b0:13 inet addr:192.168.1.69 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::213:e8ff:fe64:b013/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:183 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11570 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:21554 (21.5 KB) TX bytes:16011783 (16.0 MB)
Now about vlc, to do the streaming stuff, i'm doing this:

Code: Select all

vlc /home/braca/filmes/movie.avi --miface-addr 192.168.1.69 --sout '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.1.1.1,port=5004,ttl=10}' --sout-rtp-ttl='10'
The streaming to the wlan0 interface is working as i've checked it with wireshark in wlan0

The problem is, that if i try to watch that stream in the same computer, for ex " vlc -vvv rtp://@239.1.1.1:5004" vlc doesnt show me anything, and wireshark shows me that the interface eth0 has made a join to the group "239.1.1.1" and then eth0 interface starts receiving all UDP packets, but for some reason vlc dont show me nothing...

This is what i get from the vlc

Code: Select all

I know that streaming something and watching it in the same machine may look stupid, but it was just a way of showing something that is causing me problems in a project that i'm working on..
