MiniSAPServer hacks for Source-Specific Multicast??

[nfo-daveg]

G'Day!
Using SSM here because config is simple on our Cisco kit and RP generation is automatic over our 75 vLAN inside network.
MiniSAPServer happily provides program details (it runs on the machine streaming the DVB-T) but Windows VLC (default execute) cannot use the data from the Playlist 'cos either the SAPServer does not send the source (as in rtp://192.168.1.101@232.25.0.151) or VLC does not read it correctly (shows only rtp://@232.25.0.151 in Media Information | Location).

Any work-arounds / hacks to get this going? I've tried Custom SDP - no display in VLCPlaylist: I've tried manipulating the MiniSAPServer config file entries somewhat - it croaks.
TIA for any clue.

I realise I am guilty of providing insufficient detail:
on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
DVBlast v2.2
MiniSAPServer 0.3.8
on Windows Clients:
VLC v2.0.2 stable

VLC will happliy receive the SSM'd programs when MRL entered manually as in Media | Open Network Stream | rtp://<sou.rce.addy.xxx>@<multi.cast.addy.XXX[:5004]
Many thanks

I'm not a developper but I did a mini hack on Minisaperver source code to send Source-Specific Multicast sap announcements on my network. (igmpv3)
I have added a paramater "igmpv3" in sap.cfg that I set to yes to broadcast an ssm sap announcement.

If someone could advice me where to post this hack, I would be please to share it.
