Multicast to unicast stream

Postby pcoder » 08 Oct 2012 16:20

Hi all.

I am just a beginner for vlc output streaming and I have a question, which may be too naive. Please forgive me.

I am trying to convert an input from multicast stream to a unicast stream and I use the following configuration for setting up the vlc.

Code: Select all

new MOSAIC broadcast enabled setup MOSAIC input rtp://@232.0.2.61:8200 setup MOSAIC output #rtp{dst=10.1.20.197,port=1234,sdp=rtsp://10.1.20.193:8080/MOSAIC.sdp} control MOSAIC play
which works fine for the client 10.1.20.197. But my issue is that the flow is available elsewhere in the lan too, such as in the machines with ips 10.1.20.195 .. etc.
What I would like to know is: "Doesn't the above configuration convert the multicast stream to unicast? If it does, why is the stream still available with other machines in the lan?"

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Well, other machine can connect to rtsp://10.1.20.193:8080/MOSAIC.sdp this is normal.
