Hello Guys
I have looked for a title similar to what am doing but I have failed, if it is actually there a little help in directions (other than search) wud do me gud
WHAT DO I WANT TO DO?
I need to relay a video stream sent by a windows XP box using a FreeBSD 4.11 stable box. The freeBSD box is set to multicast the incoming stream
WHAT HAVE I DONE?
I'm sendin a unicast stream from the XP box to the BSD box. the BSD box shows that packets are reaching it from the XP box. So to multicast the incoming stream I run the followin command
<begin of command>
vlc -vvv udp: --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,url=235.20.20.20:1234,sap,name="TestStream"}'
<end od command>
When trying to receive the stream from any client cmputer that can reach the BSD box, (same subnet) the client (VLC player) does not output sound or video but shows that it is playing something (the play button is in pause state .... which means it is playing something currently)
I tried a similar thing in windws and it did it perfectly ... I think I'm doing something wrong what is it... thanx in advance
