IGMP streaming

Postby DaveAngel » 14 Mar 2011 18:24

Hi,

I'm trying to use VLC to stream a Mpeg2 video over IGMP on my network. I'm using VLC 1.1.7 on Windows 7. I also want to use VLC player and windows media to play the stream on local LAN machines.

Currently i have got the command

vlc -vvv -sout igmp:224.0.0.1 hc.mpeg --loop

However, this seams to cause VLC player to freeze up.

Any ideas?

IGMP is a routing protocol, and simply cannot carry video. Just like PIM, BGP or OSPF.

Thus, your request makes no sense and therefore nobody can help you.

I believe what you are looking for is UDP broadcasting into a multicast. Trysomething like:

vlc -vvv hc.mpeg -sout udp{dst=239.0.0.1, port=1234} --loop


Return to “VLC stream-output (sout)”
