Multicast streaming does not work?

Postby bazsl » 29 Nov 2007 16:45

am making my first attempt at streaming across a network. RTP Unicast and HTTP work. RTP Multicast does not. I am using File | Wizard to set up the server. I select RTP Multicast and enter 224.0.0.0 for the destination. I set TTL to 5.

On the client I choose File | Open Network Stream, select UDP/RTP multicast and enter 224.0.0.0 in the address. I leave the Port set to the default value of 1234 then click OK. The client never starts playing the stream. I am using a Win2k Server machine for the server and an XP Pro SP2 machine for the client. The Windows firewall is disabled.

I have read the manual but must of it assumes a lot of knowledge that I do not have. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or point me to some documentation for rank beginners? Thanks.

Same problem here.

I went down to verison 0.8.5 and multicast works.
