Multicast Issue

[shanson29]

I am able to stream unicast, but unable to multicast.

VLC is 0.8.5-test3
Input is PVR using ivtv 0.6.1
3rd party libraries installed:

• a52dec-0.7.4.tar.gz
  libogg-1.1.3.tar.gz
  flac-1.1.2.tar.gz
  libtheora-1.0alpha5.tar.gz
  SDL-1.2.9.tar.gz
  lame-3.97b2.tar.gz
  libvorbis-1.1.2.tar.gz
  speex-1.0.5.tar.gz
  libao-0.8.6.tar.gz
  live.2006.03.17.tar.gz
  wxGTK-2.6.3.tar.gz
  libdvbpsi4-0.1.5.tar.gz
  mpeg2dec-0.4.0b.tar.gz
  ffmpeg from CVS

Configured with:

Code: Select all

./configure --disable-gtk --enable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-tree=/tmp/ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --enable-a52 --enable-dts --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-faac --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-livedotcom --enable-alsa --disable-kde --disable-qt --enable-wxwindows --enable-ncurses --enable-release --disable-mad --disable-skins2 --disable-wxwidgets --enable-pvr

executing vlc with:

Code: Select all

./vlc -v --color pvr:/dev/video0 --cr-average 1000 --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=224.2.1.51:1234}'

I can multicast a stream from precompiled vlc-0.8.4-test1/Win32 on the same network, but my compiled executable on Fedora Core5 will only unicast. I've had this running before, but wasn't doing any transcoding. Now I need smaller streams, and decided I would scrap a working setup and rebuild with the latest libraries and vlc. I'm kicking myself! I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm driving myself batty!

Many Thanks,
Scott

Code: Select all

./vlc -v --color pvr:/dev/video0 --cr-average 1000 --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=224.2.1.51:1234}'

Should be

Code: Select all

./vlc --color pvr:/dev/video0 --cr-average 1000 --sout '#standard{access=udp{ttl=x},mux=ts,dst=224.2.1.51:1234}'

It's all in the documentation, just took me two weeks to find it

Great work, VLC-team!
