Beginner streaming problems
Posted: 08 Oct 2008 23:36
I am a complete novice at video streaming making my first attempt using version 0.94 and the menus (not the command line). Everything works across my home network using HTTP. UDP works if I specify the client IP address on the server. I assume this is UDP unicast mode.
When I try to use UDP multicast with the address set to 239.255.1.1 or 224.0.0.0 and Encapsulation set to MPEG-TS the server starts streaming but I cannot connect on the client by selecting UDP as the protocol and entering the same address. What am I doing wrong? Note that I do have UDP port 1234 open in Windows Firewall on both machines.
I would also like to try RTP but I have no idea what to enter for the address. is there any documentation for this for version 0.94?
My last question is, why would I want to use RTP or UDP instead of HTTP?
I have read the docs but they are for another version with a very different U/I so they did not help much.
