command line - HELP: UDP broadcast vlc stream weirdness! -


hi i'm trying using vlc broadcast udp stream within lan, making tv channel.

i used command line launch vlc vlc ok run =

cvlc --repeat filename.avi --sout '#standard{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.12.42:8001} 

problem works on network, , have problem receiving on network without router!

question: magical address "239.255.x.x" ? network hardware require udp broadcast besides switches , cables? wireless can accept udp broadcast?

thanks answers!

the 239.255.x.x addresses part of multicast address space, ranging 224.0.0.0 239.255.255.255 (and there specific-use areas in there).

you've correctly noted doesn't work without router. because basic ip stack still wants know how route addresses determine interface send them on. can either add static route multicast (that address or multicast addresses), or put in default gateway.
