Hi,

I have an issue recieving a client connection via upd. I know the pc is recieving packets becasue I seen the traffic on the DU meter.

I have 3 NIC, I have disabled 2 of them. The one is an Intel GigE built into the motherboard (supermicro brand)

this is the output when I do a open network stream

main debug: adding playlist item `udp://' ( udp:// )
main debug: creating new input thread
main debug: waiting for thread completion
main debug: `udp://' gives access `udp' demux `' path `'
main debug: demux2_New: access='udp' demux='' path=''

main warning: no access2 module matching "udp" could be loaded
main error: no suitable access module for `udp://'
main debug: thread 3140 joined (src/input/input.c:290)

Running XPSP1 on the client and the server is Win2k SP4. I can open a network stream on the Win2K box to itself and it works fine. Try it over a "network" (cross over cable), I see the traffic going the other box, but can open any sockets on the client.

Any thoughts?

Are you doing addressed UDP, where you send to the specific gigabit Ethernet IP?

If you're using multicast, the common problem would be that you need to do
route add
At either the server or client (sometimes both), to tell the PC(s) which interface to use for multicast.

I am doing addressed UDP where i send it to a specific IP address.

I have tired the NIC (2 are intel GigE and 1 RealTec 10/100). I get the same error as before.

Thanks,

Lack of knowledge on my part -- what is the DU meter?

On the first PC, at a command line (console) a ping to the second PC works OK?

Your command line looks something like:

vlc thing_to_stream :sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=192.168.2.50:1234}}

Where the 192... is replaced by the second PC's IP?

There's one thing I've heard of, some people run an app that begins with a "v", it does some kind of intercept or mapping on Ethernet, doesn't work with VLC.
(sorry I cannot be more specific on that last one -- it's been a couple months)
