How to stream video in sync to several computers

[Fredrik]

Is it possible to stream video to several computers so that they play on all computers at the same time, like a regular TV broadcast?

use multicast stream

[Fredrik]

Ok, but how should I set it up? Don't undrestand how to stream to a multicast adress (224.0.0.0). The computer I'm streaming from got its IP (192.168.1.231) from my router and I'm streaming to 192.168.1.39. Must I have several network adapters?

u have to use a multicast address like, 239.255.x.x, its very easy, slect udp stream, enter your multicast address, may be, 239.255.1.10, select the port you want, may be 1234, for the trancoding codec video or audio, up to you.

Then to recieve, select multidiff udp/rtp and the appropriate port, that all

Hy all, I have the same pb : my computers are configured in 192.168.0.X and if I select UDP streaming I must change to 239.255.X.X.
The IP class are not the same ... do i need to change all my IP network ?

it is not very difficoult; and to simplify more u can use the wizard.

On the "server": the computer that will stream

File/Wizard...
select stream to network, hit next;
select the file u want to stream, hit next;
select udp multicast and type, for example, 239.255.0.1, hit next;
hit next;
for TTL you could type 11, hit FINISH.

On the clients: the computer that will receive the stream

File/Open Network Stream...
select UDP/RTP Multicast and in the adress type 239.255.0.1 (or the adress you specified before, if different)
hit OK

The Clients will receive the same stream at the same time while the server will be litle bit (1-2 sec.) in advance

Hope it helps
