VLC 1.1.0 rc1 - Streaming to a specific interface (--miface)
Posted: 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)
Now about vlc, to do the streaming stuff, i'm doing this:
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
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..
