streming over ipv5 multicast

Postby evansmb » 15 Jan 2014 17:56

I am trying to stream a file over IPv6 multicast. It appears as though the streaming computer is sending the data. When i try to start the client computer listening to the stream i get an error message: "Your input can not be opened. Vlc is unable to open the MRL udp://@[ff08::1]:1234. Check log for details." I haven't found any logs. I have set a log file under preferences -> advanced-> logging but VLC doesnt seem to create the log file listed there either. Would anyone have any suggestion on getting this device to listen to the stream.
